I have only one request," Kafka wrote to his publisher Kurt Wolff in 1913. "'The Stoker,' 'The Metamorphosis,' and 'The Judgment' belong together, both inwardly and outwardly. There is an obvious connection among the three, and, even more important, a secret one, for which reason I would be reluctant to forego the chance of having them published together in a book, which might be called The Sons."
Seventy-five years later, Kafka's request is granted, in a volume including these three classic stories of filial revolt as well as his own poignant "Letter to His Father," another "son story" located between fiction and autobiography. A devastating indictment of the modern family, The Sons represents Kafka's most concentrated literary achievement as well as the story of his own domestic tragedy.
Grouped together under this new title and in newly revised translations, these texts—the like of which Kafka had never written before and (as he claimed at the end of his life) would never again equal—take on fresh, compelling meaning.
Franz Kafka was 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 At the end of his life, Kafka asked his lifelong friend and literary executor Max Brod to burn all his unpublished work.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.
要在從前有人跟我說看卡夫卡也能看哭,我肯定覺得是在裝逼,但是在這個他生前一直想齣的集子裏確實都關乎他生命裏那些脆弱柔軟的部分,而不隻是錶麵的所謂“荒誕”。編輯把卡夫卡那封寫給父親長達50多頁的信收進來簡直太恰當瞭,那種為有一位強大父親的自豪感,活在父親陰影之下的窒息感,對父親的愧疚感,以及一生都在想辦法逃離父親的無奈和無力感,與前麵三個短篇的內容相互印襯相互補充,真的看到我快要掉淚......

評分將與父書與這幾篇放在一起齣版,算是瞭瞭卡夫卡的心願。與父書的收錄更很大程度上幫助理解不同中短篇中人物的內心掙紮。內心極其敏感的卡夫卡與強勢性格的父親,對父親的愛與責任和強勢所遺留下的卡夫卡的自責互相intensify。也許是無解瞭。
