Dearest Father

Conflict Between Father And Son Is One Of The Oldest Themes In Literature, And 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, E;dearest Fathere; Is A Desperate Attempt To Retrace The Origins Of A Turbulent And Highly Conflicted 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 Of The Twentieth Century.
