Diaries in the public domain seem natural candidates for the weblog format. While the Kafka Project has already made the critical edition of Kafka's diaries available online, this site aims to supplement that work by providing a public-domain translation in English and a space for discussion (in the event of a talkative readership).

Because many entries cannot be precisely dated, I have forgone the usual convention of placing a date above each entry. Kafka's dates, when noted, appear in the body of the text. The German text is that provided by the Kafka Project. Entries appear in reverse order on the main page, in their original order on the archive pages.

Thanks for visiting.
