yeah I won't argue with that. I think James had an amazing run with The Ambassadors, Wings of the Dove and The Golden Bowl at the top of the century, but obviously Kafka tops that, tops Joyce, tops Pynchon (lol), Faulkner, Hemingway... and probably Proust

kafka doesn't get the edge for having way more going on thematically/actually having been read by more than 50 people?

kafka is a sick mind. this becomes clear from reading the letter to his father. he was abused and probably a homosexual masochist who was in love with his father.
