Letter to His Father

I should not have picked this book up thinking it would help with my father issues - I cried more times in an hour for the first time in eight years. Thanks, Kafka.

I have always wanted to understand Franz Kafka, especially his works. I thought it's better to first read his letter to the father and then dive into his books to fully understand the work.

I hate to rate or review this because how inhumane must you be to rate someone's pain and agony. All I can say is the letter made me reflect on the patterns of, what could be sometimes, a toxic upbringing. It's important for everyone to read this book not only to understand Kafka better but to introspect on any patterns in your family that were passed from one generation to other. Hermann was lucky to not read his son's letter. But how would you feel if your child had written this letter to you? This question made me affirm to be a better father one day.

3.7. Lo leí en español, pero no me era posible encontrar el libro o la editorial, y esto lo comento para decir que me encantó la forma de escritura. Me encantó leer sobre la relación con su padre, muy interesante.
