Isn't the literariness of biography precisely how it approaches the questions asked in this article, and in the biography on Kafka? It comes up again and again in most renowned biographies.

The best make that superficial/deep relationship seamless. I guess these ones on Kafka don't.
Aside, can anyone recommend the best work to start with for Kafka?
