Kafka was from Prague, no? Doesn't that make him Bohemian?

Yes, he wrote in german nevertheless, so he can be considered part of the literary history of the German Language. Also, Sudeten germans never saw themselves as Czechs (I’m aware Kafka was jewish, just giving an example of eastern european germans complicated relationships with other ethnicities).

Poetry doesn't usually translate great. Really messes with the flow.

German is like 50% the same as english so it translates better than most things.

I think is more like 30% at best. But I guess a good English translation with footnotes should be fine.

The only reason english speakers struggle to understand it is because German has different cases and a stricter sentence structure. The more educated english speakers who know a bit of Elizabethan English can read a German newspaper and get the jist of the article, I've seen it happen.

I don’t think is just grammar structure and the case system, there is a lot of different vocabulary as well. English has tons of loan words of French origin, like “hospital” instead of “krankenhaus”. And even words in english that are not loan words are different, like “driving” vs “fahren” or “understand” vs “verstehen”. But now that you mentioned Elizabethean English, things like “hast thou” and “hast du” are indeed similar.

Friendly reminder that if you can't taste coriander you are literally missing out on the most complex tastiest freshest spice in the world. It's literally culinary impotence you will never enjoy food like normal people. The media and cooking channels and even your friends will not mention this because it is a social faux pas. But trust me people secretly laugh at you if you have the inferior gene. I even knew a girl who broke up with her ex for this reason. Can you imagine passing this gene on to your children???
