Thomas Kelly
conversations with kafka made me do a complete 180 on his books and him as a person
like I used to despise him almost as much as sartre (remember fight club scene where durden asks who would norton fight, any person living or dead? that would be sartre for me, any point in his life, I mean like physical prime or whatever, i would bash him fucking skull in, both of his eyes would be fucked up like in those toys where they just drop downwards you know?), but after that conversations with kafka book I like him.

No, I read the book. I'm asking why that cover was deemed relevant to that edition.
