"The Stoker, The Metamorphosis, and The Judgment belong together, both inwardly and outwardly.

Author Biography FRANZ KAFKAwas born in 1883 in Prague, where he lived most of his life. During his lifetime, he published only a few short stories, including "The Metamorphosis," "The Judgment," and "The Stoker." He died in 1924, before completing any of his full-length novels. At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work. Brod overrode those wishes. Review "The world of the officials and the world of the fathers are the same to Kafka. The similarity does not redound to this worlds credit; it consists of dullness, decay, and dirt. Uncleanness is so much the attribute of officials that one could almost regard them as enormous parasites. In the same way the fathers in Kafkas strange families batten on their sons, lying on top of them like enormous parasites." —Walter Benjamin Review Quote "The world of the officials and the world of the fathers are the same to Kafka.
