Who was Franz Kafka, name some of his works?
Franz Kafka (IPA: [ˈfranʦ ˈkafka]) (July 3, 1883 – June 3, 1924) was one of the major German-language novelists and short story writers of the 20th century, whose unique body of writing — most of it incomplete, and published posthumously despite his wish that it be destroyed — has become iconic in Western literature.[1] His most famous pieces of writing include his short story Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis) and his unfinished novel Der Prozess (The Trial). The adjective “kafkaesque” has come into common use to denote mundane yet absurd and surreal circumstances of the kind commonly found in Kafka’s work.
