Diaries, 1910-1923 by Franz Kafka6/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Thus he knows two things at once, and both with equal assurance: that there is no God, and that there must be a God. ![]() “In Kafka we have before us the modern mind splendidly trained for the great game of pretending that the world it comprehends in sterilized sobriety is the only and ultimate reality there is-yet a mind living in sin with the soul of Abraham. ![]() They offer an account of a life of almost unbearable intensity. They provide a penetrating look into life in Prague and into Kafka’s accounts of his dreams, his feelings for the father he worshipped and the woman he could not bring himself to marry, his sense of guilt, and his feelings of being an outcast. These diaries cover the years 1910 to 1923, the year before Kafka’s death at the age of forty. Perfect for the upcoming hellscape brought on by August's unrelenting heat, alternates between poignant and hilarious (depending on your state of mind, sense of humor, and whether or not you have air conditioning). ![]()
