Just read my first Kafka (pic related). I really enjoyed it. I need more short stories like this, what does /lit/ recommend?

Kafka by the shore. A lovely autobiographical history. Like Kafka in the 21st century with taoist monk influences.
>>9004445
Read Kafka's short story collections.
>>9004445
Metamorphosis. Its my first Kafak as well and currently my favourite novel. Not a short story though. Its about 70 pages long. I cant recommend it enough. Probably his most iconic work as well.

Fuck off, you attention seeking cunt.

It's my least favourite work by him, strangely.
I like The Castle the best.
"Das Urteil" is hilariously funny.
>>9004445
More Kafka obviously, you dumb fuck
I like The Silence of Sirens and The Penal Colony
Read the rest of Kafka and then other German modernists.
They're the best literature has to offer, really.

Read The Blind Owl by sandegh hayat. He was very influenced by kafka.

Read The Trial, OP. Other anon are right to say that The Metamorphosis and The Castle are equally essential, but I think The Trial is the most "complete" summation of everything great about Kafka.
What the fuck is First Sorrow about
>>9004445
Hey OP, read A Hunger Artist by Franz Kafka.
it's really good.
>>9004594
>tfw just read this yesterday
It was beautiful. I hadn't felt like this after reading a book since I finished The Brothers Kamarazov.
I'm starting the Trial tomorrow, hope it's just as good.

Throw yourself in the trash

Metamorposis -> trial -> castle
Castle is my favourite one, i even bought it as book athough i'm a poor ebook fag but i think it's easier to "understand" if you read some other kafka books before
