I had some short stories, poems and photographs to share ... and so here I am

Franz Kafka


Well done, Thomas, who correctly found the answer to my Identify The Author quiz.
Franz Kafka (this is him pictured on the right, not Thomas!) was the famous writer I was looking for.

There were five clues: Berlin, Joseph, Seven, China and Muir.

The answers:

Berlin - while he was born in Prague, he settled in Berlin.
Joseph - the name of the main character in the novel The Trial.
Seven - the number of works he had published in his lifetime.
China - refers to his selection of shorter fiction printed in 1931: The Great Wall of China.
Muir - refers to Willa and Edwin Muir who translated his work from the German.

Stay tuned for my next literary challenge.
