"Kafka erscheint uns rätselhaft, dabei schreibt er doch eigentlich in einer schlichten Prosa, seine Schilderungen sind präzise, seine Personen reden in einfachen Worten und es wird weder um das, was sie tun, noch um das, das sie reden, noch um das, was ihnen zustößt, ein großes Gewese gemacht. Aber wir verstehen nicht. Oder glauben, nicht zu verstehen. Oder wir verstehen, können aber nicht sagen, was eigentlich. Wir glauben immer etwas anderes, Drittes ausmachen zu müssen, das mit dem, was dort passiert, eigentlich bezeichnet wird, wir versuchen, das Rätsel zu lösen.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Un scriitor (întâmplător sau nu, având același nume cu autorul) duce o existență cât se poate de mulțumitoare: singurul conflict autentic din viața lui, după cum ne anunță chiar de la început, este încăpățânarea de a scrie, când, după toate aparențele, nu are de ce. În lipsă de alte frământări, observă în tihnă lumea din jur și începe să ne povestească pe un ton firesc lucruri banale care i se întâmplă, în cartier și prin împrejurimi: o vizită la o clinică de gastroenterologie, prezentarea unor cursuri de scriere creativă la o librărie sau un drum la frizer.
