Synopsis

This work debunks a number of key facets of the Kafka-myth, including the idea that Kafka was the archetypal genius neglected in his lifetime, that he was stuck in a dead-end job and struggling to find time to write, that he was tormented by fear of sex and that he had a uniquely terrible, domineering father.
