I could have read Lettre au père in its French édition, but the topic is very sensitive to me. And I have to admit without shame - I need a language that does not expose me. Speaking about Kafka in French feels like speaking about myself too directly. English gives me a thin layer of anonymity, or neutral.
It lets me approach the text sideways, without the emotional transparency that French forces on me.
