In this open letter to his father – a letter which was never sent – Kafka tries to come to terms with one of the most deeply rooted obsessions of his troubled soul. Written as a long, tense and dramatic confession in which writer and man are gathered together in front of an ambivalent figure of authority, Dearest Father is a desperate attempt to retrace the origins of a turbulent relationship between an unflinching parent and an extremely sensitive child.
Both a merciless indictment of his father and an impassioned appeal to him, Kafka''s inspired work is one of the most lucid and touching psychological documents in twentieth-century literature. This volume also includes passages from Kafka''s diaries and correspondence.
