K. B. Genell - On Western Culture
Kafka - a Freudo-Structuralist Analysis
The most
mindboggling experience I ever
had in my entire life was, and is, that
I wrote a book, and that probably nobody has ever read it,
or at least nobody has understood it,
or
at least nobody ever has commented upon it.
This book
explains one of the most central
features in the main works of the marvellous and magnificent Franz Kafka.
Kafka uses the High-Romantic Ästhetik des Schwebens
and without this reference
to the Romantic Tradidition,
there would have been no Kafkaesque.
What - then - is meant by the term
"Kafkaesque"?
My
Kafka - a Freudo-Structuralist Analysis
is an analysis with special
regard to the concept of the
Kafkaesque.
Writing the Fiction of Tomorrow
By editing my third Philosophical work, “Writing
the Fiction of Tomorrow”, ( After "Ironi och existens"
and "Kafka - a Freudo-Structuralist Analysis" )
I have elaborated in detail
several of my favorite themes on Myth
Critique and Irony Theory in order to make them
applicable for contemporary Authors.
As a fiction writer, I set out with several books
in the Swedish language, such as “Pistolen”, [ The Gun ]
“Tavelstölden” [Theft of a Piece of Art ], “Tegelkrona
och skönheten” [ The Beauty ] and “Höstdrama”
[ Autumn Drama ].The concise thriller story
“Skjuta sig fri”( 2022) [ Shooting Free ] - was
also published on BooksOnDemand (BoD).
With “The Lion´s Disease” ( Amazon Paperback+Ebook ),
G. created a psychological
comment on the problem of pandemics by describing an outbreak of a disease on
a contemporary
Odyssey to Indonesia on a Bulk Cargo Carrier.
This story is also available in Swedish: ”Lejonsjukan” (2021)
( Amazon, Paperback+Ebook ).............

...... In 2022, in December, after – much to my surprise
- having received a scholarship from Sveriges
Författarfond (Swedish Authors Fund), I published
two more books in my native language, also available
on Amazon, one of which was a collection of short
stories called "Noveller."
By editing my latest
Philosophical work “Writing the Fiction of Tomorrow”,
I elaborated in detail several of my favorite
themes in order to make them applicable for other Authors.
My latest novel, “Darkness,” ( 2023 Amazon),
is about a young man entangled in a strange
murder case on a beach outside Tampa, FL.
I am
KAJ BERNHARD GENELL , born in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1944,and am
a Swedish Author. I became interested in Literature, Music
and Figurative Art at an early age, and, in 1983, published
a small book exclusively on Irony - “Ironi och Existens.”
Soon after that, I wrote a whole series of papers at the University
of Gothenburg related to Kafka. This would much later
result in “Kafka och det Kafkaeska” (2018), an essay
in Swedish on the Literary Technique of Kafka, later
published in English as “Kafka – a Freudo-Structuralist
Analysis” (2021). This books explains the concept of
the “Kafkaesque”...............
