kafka

until recently, i have only read kafka's auf der galerie and the metamorphosis. not one of his three novels. of course i have heard alot about him, but i sort of knew that until i finish the castle, the trial or america, i cannot consider myself to know him.

as early as 2002, i have heard of murakami. my chinese teacher told me to read murakami. i never got around to doing it until 2005 or 2006.

i was truly aware of kafka's existence only in 2004.

i only know last year that murakami is also sometimes considered kafka's successor.

to me, it's always only a matter of time before i meet kafka. as if, only then would the journey be complete.

and so i finally met him through The Trial.
