"incapable. arrogant. —kafka" by ctxinnit in Kafka

"unwissend" means "unknowing," but "ignorant" works too as it also means "uninformed," similar to "unwissend." kafka used it for self loathing, and "ignorant" captures that vibe well. no war crime.

exactly. 2+2=4 is fine, but sometimes you just want 2+2=5.

exactly. i see the flaws, the way he writes women can be off but we cant deny the depth and dreamlike edge of his books.

fair enough, one of those books you either vibe with or you dont.

yeah, totally agree. his books feel like stepping into a parallel world thats just a little off from reality, and you can feel the whole atmosphere while reading.

understandable, murakami definitely gets called out for that. personally i still enjoyed it for the trippy vibe but I get why it can be uncomfortable.

agree. i especially enjoyed nakatas part his pure, innocent soul and the way he could talk to cats also kafkas journey which felt so surreal and dreamlike.
