Why read Kafka's novels if they're all uncompleted?

because the people who publish them need money

Which one is your all-time favorite?

>>8935238
On parables, Unhappiness, Poseidon, The Great Wall of China, and The Hunger Artsit. Not in any particular order but On Parables has a special place

Yea this is some prime Kafka alright, I've never read this one before. I can't stand anyone who says his prose is either bad or gets lost in translation, this is some incisive shit.

The idea of a book ever being completed is an act of illusion. A book begins then after a certain amount of pages it is over. The same goes for Kafka's books as any other.

Because they're worth reading, and they don't feel incomplete actually. It could digress on and on, and it wouldn't be better.

That's a nice satire of something a vapid pseud would say, anon, good one.
