There one of these for Faulkner? if not where do I start? I have only read his short works

Metamorphosis is actually a good start although I would read his diary entries and letters before reading his other novels. If you want to understand Kafkas writings you have to understand Kafka as a person.

I did the opposite and read his journals after his novels and I felt it recontextualised my understanding of his work without hampering my ability to arrive at my own understanding.
