On the 100th anniversary of his death, the cultural department of the city of Villach, in cooperation with the neuebuehnevillach, presents an evening in honor of Franz Kafka with a staged reading and presentation of Janko Ferk's "Franz. A Play".
A year after the writer's death, five women who were close to Franz Kafka meet at the home of Kafka's upper-middle-class parents in the center of Prague. These are Ottla Kafka, Kafka's favorite sister; Dora Diamant, his partner in the last months of his life; Felice Bauer, his fiancée whom he never married; Julie Wohryzek, his last fiancée; and Milena Jesenská, the first translator of his texts into Czech and his pen friend. They are all united in various ways by a complicated love for Kafka, not least because he "was too little simple".
Janko Ferk works and lives in Klagenfurt. He is a lawyer, honorary professor of literature at the Alpen-Adria University Klagenfurt, and a writer. He has published more than forty books to date. For his literary and academic work, he has received numerous awards and honors.
