Hard to put down: idiosyncratic, critical, resistant to all mystifications of fame. "Nicht nur Armut an Natur, nicht allein die Bedrängnis durch die Mystik hatte die deutsche Dichtung Prags zu überwinden. Ihr drohte noch ein gefährlicher Fluch: sie war eine Literatur ohne Publikum.... Mangel an Widerhall war Mangel an Sprache: seit der Mitte des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts war Prager Deutsch ein stagnierendes Gruppenidiom, das immer weniger Zusammenhang mit der echten Sprache der deutschen Gesellschaft hatte... Franz Kafka schrieb diese reine, harte, fast abstrakte Sprache, in welcher es keine Worte für Farben, Glanz und Wärme gab, kein dahinfließendees Gespräch, keinen echten Dialog.".
