It's just that I'm old. I didn't read Kafka four time in a row mind you. I'm not nihilist at all, what made you think that? I have a high opinion on art, music, movies, literature, and prefer Kafka over Harry potter if you don't mind. When I see a twenty so claim himself an artist and a bunch of appraisers, I insert my view which is that artistic genius is a curse, happens very rarely, and certainly cannot be taught by a twenty so blogger who draws.
He said he was an artist, not an artistic genius; on the contrary, he's fairly humble and critical of his own work. You're putting words in his mouth, then talking down to him for things he didn't say.
