Letters to himself: Kafka

After the read of Franz Kafka(1883-1924), and his romance or tells, we are very surprising to strangeness of context and episodes that alter the tell; and we consider that this is style of writer, therefore we must habit  to it; but when we read the letters of Kafka same strangeness is very anomalous, because similar to romance, we can find sensations or other, that have not link, i.e., a letter written in 1900 to Selma Robitscheck, and Franz said: “How much words in the book! It must remember! But the words can’t remember!. In fact the words are wrong mountaineers and miners. It don’t take treasure from peaks of mountain or bowels of the mountain. But is a life memory that has passed the hand caressing on the values of record…”, it is example of a letter that we can believe accidental and without sense, but during 1902 the sense didn’t improved, a letter to Oskar Pollak, a classmate of Franz: “Saturday, walking to you, I realised what we need. I write it today because these things must be lay and pose. When we speak together , the words are strong, we run on flag unequal . To things more delicate the foots are inflate and we aren’t guilty. We almost obstacle one other, I boat you and you…”, these are words without sense, as his romances, evidently Franz took some emotions and translate it on paper, but it is very strange, in fact he continuing: “I understand when for years we are in front of the ugly  wall, and it doesn’t want crumble we are boring. It fair  to itself , to garden, and you on contrary peeve yourself, yawns, the pain to head begins.” I believe that or he has drunk or he more credible has took from his style: “You have to noted that every when we meet after a little time we are disappointed, noised, until we are habit to noise, therefore we must set ahead the words so that  we don’t see the yawns.”, but we can find also some notation that we can keep: “I am fair  that you doing not understand the letter: what he want?”, this question is certainly, privately asked to his friend, but I think that we can ask give same question”, and an error of logic is relevant: “When we speak together we are hindered by things that we want say but we can’t say so…”, where is error? Simple Franz is speaking to himself, and stop; anyway I want insist, he has took from his literary style, and has reported it to letters; but differently from romance where all is let, in letters, at last the poor reader, must have possibility to understand something, otherwise you speak to yourself alone, fortunately these letters he hasn’t written to us.
