Letter To The Father By Franz Kafka

Kafka actually gave the letter to his mother to hand his father, hoping it might renew a relationship that had lost itself in tension and frustration on both sides. But Kafka’s probing of the deep flaw in their relationship spared neither his father not himself. He could not help seeing the faliure of communication between father and son as another moment in the larger existential predicament decipted in so much of his work.
