No, I'm just pointing out the reality that even if you wish to keep your hands clean by respecting Kafka's wishes and hence foregoing any reading of the Brod published works, you still live in a society where the ripples from those works have affected countless writers and millions of readers.
yeah that's not really...true at all? at least no more so than "a thief stole something and then bought something with his proceeds so if I participate in the economy in any way the ripples from the thief wash up upon mine briny shore" or something

I was getting into it in high school like most people and then as I got into it I started reading the supplementary stuff in the anthologies about how he wanted it destroyed and I thought about it some and thought "you know what, fuck this, this shouldn't have been published." It seems personally kinda shitty to me to read stuff that the guy who wrote it explicitly did not want to exist, so once I'd thought that q through I stopped reading Kafka.

y'all Brod defenders know that the work Kafka left behind was unfinished, right?
Not just in not burning the work but in editing and ordering the chapters in several works, Brod is eventually a posthumous (and unathorized) collaborator with Kafka.

rly? what if, i dunno (the counterfactuals are hard to come up with, cuz they didn't happen), socrates wanted his ideas to die with him and plato said 'alright man'? a lack of kafka can't have the kind of game-changing influence that would have but it would still be a different world in some notable sense. (it doesn't make it good, just true.)

Aero, what about already-published works which the creator disavows and wishes to be superseded by later editions. Am I acting unethically in listening only to Schumann's first published edition of Davidsbundlertanze and not his own preferred later boring edition?

imo if you published it you gotta live w/the consequences. if you didn't publish it and left no instructions then you gotta expect people to get all vulture. if you specifically left instructions for anything you didn't get around to burning to be burnt and some asshole edits & publishes it then that dude's body should be placed in a latrine forever.

From that piece:
According to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz, the banks have already yielded “a huge amount” of original Kafka material, including notebooks and the manuscript of a previously published short story.
Something to look forward to.
