In "Why I Don't Write Like Franz Kafka," William S. Wilson explores the concept that a lack of passion in writing can detract from its value, deeming it ultimately vulgar. Wilson draws on Kafka's intense emotional engagement with his work to illustrate the necessity of fervor in creating meaningful literature. He argues that passionate expression not only enriches the story but also connects deeply with readers. The book reflects on the idea that writing should stem from genuine feelings and experiences, contrasting with detached or impersonal styles. Wilson suggests that writers who fail to infuse their work with passion risk producing uninspired narratives that do not resonate with audiences, thus emphasizing the importance of authenticity in literary expression.
