Franz Kafka

Franz Kafka- (3 July 1883 – 3 June 1924) A Jewish-Czech writer born in Prague. A major figure in 20th century literature and a reckoned schizoid, Kafka lived a middle-class life, oscillating between working and writing. Finding little relief in either pursuit, but driven by the latter. Most of his works were published after his death, his preference being that they would instead be burned.
