Franz Kafka wrote this letter to his father, Hermann Kafka, in November 1919. Max Brod, Kafka’s literary executor, relates that Kafka actually gave the letter to his mother to hand to his father, hoping it might renew a relationship that had lost itself in tension and frustration on both sides. But Kafka’s probing of the deep flaw in their relationship spared neither his father nor himself. He could not help seeing the failure of communication between father and son as another moment in the larger existential predicament depicted in so much of his work. Probably realizing the futility of her son’s gesture, Julie Kafka did not deliver the letter but instead returned it to its author.

My valuation of myself was much more dependent on you than on anything else, such as some external success.

Imagina você falhar tanto como ser humano que seu filho aos 36 anos resolve escrever uma carta de 45 páginas sobre como você é o centro de todo o caos da vida dele, o motivo de seus traumas e maiores medos??
Kafka aguentou muito calado, essa carta nem foi recebida por seu pai, mas esclarece muitas coisas em relação a personalidade do autor suas obras. Livro pesado, o mais daddy issues do mundo
