1. Kafka conflicted about his Judaism is untrue. Read Amerika.
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (04.20.19)
It takes a serious intellectual effort and deep knowledge of Judaism to understand that for Kafka Israel is his America.

He named the work Amerika because during his lifetime it was common for Jews to emigrate to America and not Israel.

His intention was to show how Jews dream for America is the yearning for Israel
2. Like Many Jewish Authors His Work Is Overrated.
World Citizen ,   the world   (04.21.19)
Boorish and dull are the operative words here. Keep him.
