Ross Benjamin and Merve Emre on The Diaries of Franz Kafka

[@sarmadchandio3799]

Those books which are not available (or maybe I am unable to find them) in my country. I download those books (free pdf), and use the office's printer to print some pages and, after returning from the office, I usually read those pages at my home. Today I was reading a review which was uploaded a few days ago on New Yorker time, so I thought I should buy this book any how, but I am so sad, I could not buy this book, price is normal but with shipping charges, it was impossible for me to get this book. Kafka was an awesome writer, the one who really amazed me with his writings. His deep and terrible thoughts always touch my soul. I am leaving this comment with his quote. "I was ashamed of myself when I realised life was a costume party and I attended it with my real face." -Franz Kafka.

Interesting.

I have read translators preface in his book, which reeks of narcissism. All the bragging how his translation is better. That put me off. Half of his interviews are disabled comments on KZbin. And the book’s cover is similar to the one of Brad’s translation edition which is very dishonest. I can’t judge which translation is better without reading but I’ll go with Brad’s edition anyway.
