On Kafka's Identity

Abstract

Kafka is an "eccentric genius" of the western literature in the 20th century because he belongs to the literature as a whole rather than to any literature school, and he belongs to the world as a whole rather than to any nation since surpasses any partiality and prejudice of any nation. It is just because of his uniqueness that almost every "ism" gets inspiration from him, every school traces its origination from him and lots of great contemporary writers regard him as a distinguished one whom they can refer to.
