part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Working for an insurance company, he wrote 
in German the novels The Trial , The Castle , Amerika  and many stories 
including The Judgement , The Metamorphosis, In the Penal Colony , and A Hunger 
Artist . His writing has been associated with Existentialism. Writing played a 
dominant part in his relations to several people, including his father (Letter to His 
Father), his fiancée Felice Bauer (Letters to Felice), and his youngest sister and the 
family (Letters to Ottla & the Family). 
Only a small part of Kafka's works was published during his lifetime, stories in 
literary magazines, and the story collections Betrachtung (Contemplation) and Ein 
Landarzt (A Country Doctor) as books. The large body of his writing, 
including unfinished works such as all his novels, was published posthumously, 
mostly by his friend Max Brod who ignored his wish to destroy the manuscripts.

His work influenced writers such as Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre, but also 
inspired films, plays, music and computer games.

Salinger were influenced by Kafka's writing. In 1999 a committee of 99 authors, 
scholars, and literary critics ranked the The Trial and The Castle, the second and 
ninth most significant German-language novels of the 20th century. 
Some sources have claimed that Kafka possessed a schizoid personality 
disorder. His work, they claim, not only in The Metamorphosis, but in various other 
writings, appear to show low to medium-level schizoid characteristics, which 
explain much of his surprising work. However, a study of Kafka's family and early 
life by psychoanalyst Alice Miller in her book Thou Shalt Not Be Awareoffers a 
different angle on the sources of Kafka's psychological anguish and his expression 
of his painful early life in his writings.
Though Kafka never married, he had several girlfriends during his life and held 
marriage and children. There are speculations regarding Kafka's sexuality and a 
possible eating disorder. In a 1988 paper published by the Psychiatric Clinic of the 
University of Munich "evidence for the hypothesis that the poet Franz Kafka had 
suffered from an atypical anorexia nervosa is presented". Kafka considered 
committing suicide at least once, during the Autumn of 1912.
