The Sons

The Sons

"The Sons" is a collection of stories by Franz Kafka.

In 1913 Kafka wrote to his publisher Kurt Wolff requesting that three of his stories be placed in a single volume:

"The Stoker", "The Metamorphosis", and "The Judgment" belong together, both inwardly and outwardly. There is an obvious connection among the three, and, even more important, a secret one, for which reason I would be reluctant to forego the chance of having them published together in a book, which might be called The Sons." [ Quoted on the back cover, Kafka, Franz. "The Sons". New York: Schocken Books, 1989 ISBN 0805208860]

The volume, published by Schocken Books, also includes Kafka's "Letter to His Father", which could be seen as another "son story", in this case located somewhere between fiction and autobiography.
