Question

Why did Franz Kafka, before his death, instruct his friend Max Brod to destroy all his unpublished manuscripts?

Answer 1

Answer:

Franz Kafka instructed Max Brod to destroy all his unpublished manuscripts because most of them were unfinished works.

Explanation:

Kafka only published some short stories throughout his life, a small part of his work, so his work went practically unnoticed until after his death. Shortly before his death, he told his friend and executor Max Brod to destroy all his manuscripts. Brod ignored him and oversaw the publication of most of the writings he had.

Answer 2

Because he didn't want his unfinished work to be read.
