Being Kafka #3 with Hernán D. Caro

Why is there so much love for Franz Kafka in Latin America? Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson interviews Hernán D. Caro to find out. Hernán is a Colombian author and editor. He lives in Berlin. One reason for Kafka’s popularity in Latin America, in his view, is that Kafka’s clear language can be translated into other languages like Spanish without much detriment. Furthermore, Hernán believes that Kafka has given other authors an incredibly great gift: by showing them how to write about the weirdest things as if they were more normal than anything else in the world.
