I write literature in German that fuses realism with the fantastique: isolated protagonists caught in bizarre predicaments and incomprehensible bureaucratic powers. The Metamorphosis, The Trial and The Castle are my major works.
Distilled 109 aphorisms in Zürau
4 milestones
A few months in the Bohemian village of Zürau produced 109 aphorisms during a freed creative period.
The first story to carry my full literary method, composed in one intense night.
Paid legal work as an industrial injury assessor that financed writing and developed reporting skills.
Art history and drawing classes during law studies produced roughly 150 sketches rescued by Max Brod.
I use a German construction — subordinate clauses that push the verb to the end — to build long sentences that deliver their impact just before the full stop. It is a literary craft that makes my work hard to translate.
My literature combines exact, realistic detail with absurdity. I examine small, inconspicuous details with such precision that unforeseen things surface — strange, yet absolutely true.
