But how would you know that? And how much about changing and editing, how do you feel about that?

Yeah, I think the question of the friendship is an interesting one because I think you're right in saying that you don't always perceive artistry for what it is if it's very close to you, either if it's your only work or the work of a loved one.

You might think it's much better than it is or you might not think it's as good as it is.

So I think having some distance from the author does maybe give you a bit of clarity about But Broad obviously did think it was worth something.

And I think it goes back to the question of if Kafka had really not wanted his work to be read, he could have burned it himself or he could have burned it as he went along.

Or, you know, why did he write it? Why does anyone write? And I think anyone who, I don't know, is grappling with this question, who themselves produces art of some kind, understands the tendency to just destroy everything.

But I think they would also understand in themselves that there is a part of them that wants to reveal it.

Is that the Rothian idea of trying to attach a local or personal narrative to a much bigger narrative?
