This article presents information on the book "The Kafka Problem," edited by Angel Flores. But though his critics do not hesitate to load writer Franz Kafka with much more theological, metaphysical, and social baggage than the traffic can bear, there seems nevertheless to be a concerted shying away from any application of Freud to the data of Kafka's Life or writings. No doubt Kafka was a religious writer, but in a sense of consecration with which he approached the act of writing; and in his unblinking gaze at certain absolutes of existence, guilt and loneliness.
