Lovely review of @burhansonmez.bsky.social's #LoversOfFranzK t Sami Hezel here!
'I’m a fan of Kafka’s writing. This book provided discussion about his life and the morality or otherwise of the posthumous publication of his work, but it also talked about persecution and trauma'

FAB review of @burhansonmez.bsky.social's #LoversOfFranzK t Sami Hezil!
'A homage to Franz Kafka, framed as the trial (of course) of Ferdy Kaplan…queries how far one should go in the pursuit of what is important to us'

FANTASTIC review of Burhan Sönmez' #LoversOfFranzK t Sami Hezil!
'Whilst this is a slim novel at just 110 pages in the hardback edition, it is a story that will leave a great impression on the reader'
#Kafka #bookreview #booksofbluesky #translation #booksworthreading #thrillers
'The novel is almost all dialogue and takes place in a room in a police station. Ferdy Kaplan is being interrogated by Kommissar Müller. There is no doubt that Kaplan is guilty of shooting and killing a student, he has admitted to the crime … there is much more to this'
#LoversOfFranzK #Kafka
'Kaplan killed the wrong man. He had intended to kill Max Brod, a close friend of Kaplan's hero and idol Franz Kafka. Kaplan thinks that Brod has betrayed Kafka, instead of destroying Kafka's papers after his death, as promised, Brod has made them publicly available'
#LoversOfFranzK #Kafka
EXCELLENT review of Burhan Somez' #LoversOfFranzK t Sami Hezil
'With flashes of history, and a dip into the passion felt for talented artists this is a clever novel and unlike anything that I've read before. One to read more than once, and one that awakens curiosity'
