Well, if Kafka had been a Welshman, he wouldn't have written his novels in German, would he now ... boyo.
In fact, he probably wouldn't have made it out of Swansea (or Cardiff), and might have got engaged to a sheep - which could have led to even more bizarre books, I s'pose!
I can't argue with a word of that.
Son, if Kafka had been a Welsh he wouldn't have written novels, he'd have written it all in hymns. Metamorphosis would have been about cockles, Josef K wouldn't have turned up for the hearing and The Castle would have been The Social. If he'd been born in Swansea he certainly wouldn't have made it out of the Swansea Triangle - The Magistrates' Court, the prison and the Swansea Jack public house. Hwyl!
