'You are the knife I turn inside myself' Franz Kafka's letters to his one-time muse, Milena Jesenska - an intimate window into the desires and hopes of the twentieth-century's most prophetic and important writer Kafka first made the acquaintance of Milena Jesenska in 1920 when she was translating his early short prose into Czech. Their relationship quickly developed into a deep attachment. Such was his feeling for her that Kafka showed her his diaries and, in doing so, laid bare his heart and his conscience. While at times Milena's 'genius for living' gave Kafka new life, it ultimately exhausted him, and their relationship was to last little over two years. In 1924 Kafka died in a sanatorium near Vienna, and Milena died in 1944 at the hands of the Nazis, leaving these letters as a moving record of their relationship.

Review.
Reading Letters to Milena feels like listening to a heart that can’t stop bleeding. Kafka’s words are desperate, vulnerable, and haunting, but it’s less about love and more about his loneliness spilling onto Milena. At times, it feels like he loves the idea of her more than the person. Intensity here is mistaken for intimacy, and that’s both beautiful and unsettling.
