Re: ACD Holmes reading memories

[rosehiptea]

I don't feel that bad about ACD, though I agree he had the right to do whatever the fuck he wanted with Holmes and the fans should have left him alone.

But when I found out Kafka wanted all his work destroyed after he died, I felt really weird about reading Kafka. I still want to read him because I think he's a genius, but ... man, he didn't want me or anyone else reading this stuff so do I have any right?

I think the situation with Kafka is quite different. If he wanted his manuscripts to be destroyed, he probably should've done so himself (seeing as after somebody's death things often don't happen in accordance with the wishes of the deceased). And in any case, publishing them didn't do him any harm; it was disrespectful, perhaps, but he was already dead. [and I love his work, too]

Doyle, on the other hand? a) needed money, b) was harrassed by Holmes fans, and c) disliked Holmes. He didn't just "want no one to read his stuff", he wanted neither to write nor to publish it; but was eventually forced to do both. I don't feel the same way about it now (not publishing some of his stories was an extreme opinion, and a stupid one, too - albeit I was, like, five), but I'm definitely still bitter.

Max Brod was always trying to get Kafka to write more and pushing him to publish. Trusting the burning of your work to the person who has been trying to get it published - there may have been some very mixed feelings.
