Uncanny Similarities Between the Deaths of Franz Kafka and Sigmund Freud
While reading about Franz Kafka's death in a recent biography, the author recognized strangely familiar phenomena. Kafka was Jewish, terminally ill, and euthanized by a friend, circumstances the author had encountered in an essay on Freud's death a few years earlier.
