The Hidden Humour of Franz Kafka: Why he's funnier than you think

The Kafka Year 2024 is coming to a close, and we look back on a year full of celebrations and publications. This video explores a lesser-known side of the famous writer: Kafka's His knack for deadpan humor, by diving into the short stories "The Neighbour" and "The Cares of a Family Man". Through these deceptively simple tales, we uncover Kafka’s wit in creating situations that are as mundane as they are bizarre, leaving us laughing — and thinking — long after the punchline. Join me for a closer look at Kafka's humor and why it remains as relevant today as ever. I hope you enjoy the video!
