Metamorphosis and Other Stories (Franz Kafka)

Franz Kafka was born in Prague. I saw the home he lived in near Old Town Square during a walking tour in 2009 and bought a book of his stories, which sat on my bookshelf. Finally got around to reading it and will now insert “Kafkaesque” into any conversation where I want to sound deep and intellectual.
Intrigued to read his wikipedia page, especially this part: Kafka had an active sex life. According to Brod, Kafka was “tortured” by sexual desire and Kafka’s biographer Reiner Stach states that his life was full of “incessant womanising” and that he was filled with a fear of “sexual failure”. He visited brothels for most of his adult life and was interested in pornography.
