THE KAFKA PROBLEM
Sir-In a recent ZB Book Review, J. C. Reid, speaking of "The Kafka Problem," referred to Franz Kafka twice as "the Czech writer." Kafka was born in 1883 in Prague, which was Austrian then, and died in 1924, only six years after~the establishment of the Czech Republic. All his works, to the best of my knowledge, were written in German and not in Czech, and it is quite possible that he did not know Czech very well. We cannot expect exactness in Quiz answers: but in a literary review we should get reliable information.
