Hi there, Yuvi! If that's the case, certainly no one here is going to force you. However, that would mean that Peer Review probably isn't the right place for this right now. If you click on the link below, it will pull the entry out of Peer Review. It will still be here on h2g2, where everyone can see it and read it, but you won't have us pesky folks asking you to make changes on it.

Are you mad? You don't like it anymore! Get back to work, YOU, YOU ...!
Gosh, you beat me to it. I was wondering what I should write about and Kafka came to mind. I love Kafka. I really haven't figured out why yet. It's probably the loneliness of his characters ... Das Schloss reads like a detective story ... or another version of Dracula: the alienation ... the solitude ... the hostility ...the stubborness of K. trying to get in ... ??? ... to learn the rules ... to become accepted. AAAAAAAAGGGG!!! A bit like H2G2, actually.
I read Das Schloss three times, the first time at the last part of the book some ten or twenty pages were missing. ????? Later I could lend a copy of a friend. Guess what? That's weird, quite Kafkaesk really. AAAGHHH what is it, is it done on purpose, has it been censured? It was years later I bought a copy that had the complete story and I could read it uninterupted to the end.

If Yuvi decides to come back to this, or if it is moved to the Flea Market, you might like to consider the following:
1. It is misleading to describe Kafka as "one of the many great minds to come from a German-speaking country". The Czech Republic is no longer a German speaking country. Bohemia at the time Kafka lived in it was both German and Czech speaking, but was not a separate country. It was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, an Empire in which many different languages were spoken.
2. The link to Prague is wrong. There's no need to repeat the word Prague outside of the link.
3. The picture will be removed if this is picked, so you might as well remove it now,
