He was known to laugh out loud while reading his stories to others.

His sense of humor was apparently famous enough to create the trope Kafka Comedy. ย I think I picked up on it in The Trial.

Well, he deserves it (the trope, I mean)
I kept giggling while reading The Metamorphosis...

Yayyay, you also laughed reading the beginning of metamorphosis? His hurrying up and his parent's behaviour is just too hilarious XD

At some point he scares the hell out of his mother and she ends up sitting on the table or something, only, they were having breakfast, so she basically ends up sitting on the breakfast. It's pure comedy!

Maybe I haven't read enough Kafka, but I always have to smile when people talk about how depressing his works are XD

I got a bad mark in german because i resisted to believe in a deeper sense of "the process". ^^
yeah, kafka can be fun, but kafka readers - are never.

Hell, Kafka hadn't even finished writing the novel! But since his stories apparently make so little sense, people seem to think there must be a deeper meaning, otherwise... what's the point? As for me, I'm not even sure there is a point...

I get it! "The metamorphosis private"
That's a great cartoon!

I know. It's not ALL angst, people, sometimes you are allowed to laugh at Kafka's giant bugs and whatnot.

Yup, people don't get it when I say it, they just say "woot", I sigh and say "Do you know who is franz kafka?" and they just say "who?"; I just hate that. Of course there are people who get it and laugh out loud.

Yeah, if you have to explain the joke, it's not funny anymore

That was HILARIOUS! XD
I enjoy Kafka's humor.

Kafka himself would make a nice comic character
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
He would!
Kafka is just amazing.

Just hilarious!! yeah who said he didn't laugh about himself a time or two.

I'm sure he did, and it probably helped him stay sane.

Kafka had a great sense of humour... shame not many people notice it

Thanks!
Sometimes I wonder if he knew people would read every possible meaning into his stories, usually contradicting each other. I can't help thinking that, yes, he thought about it and it amused him.

I've often wondered that too! I think, to be honest, they sometimes read too much into it.
There is obviously an element of the bureaucracy, society, Jewishness, but ultimately it's his own fears and anxieties. It's all him! Not in a selfish way, but he wrote for him. To get that "tremendous world" inside his head, out into the open.
(Kafka rant over! 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I agree with you.
And then people end up writing essays about him with titles such as "The Commentator's Despair", no kidding

eh, effettivamente un vicino difficile da avere, Kafka.

Con un senso dell'umorismo un po' particolare
