Eleven Sons

Eleven Sons

"Eleven Sons" is a short story by Franz Kafka.

The story begins with a father's declaration: "I have eleven sons." He then goes on to describe each one of them in detail. Kafka told Max Brod: "The eleven sons are quite simply eleven stories I am working on this very moment." The story was written between 1914 and 1917. In 1919 it appeared in "Ein Landarzt. Kleine Erzählungen" ("A Country Doctor"), a collection of Kafka's short stories published by Kurt Wolff (Munich and Leipzig) [Kafka, Franz. "The Complete Stories". New York: Schocken Books, 1995. 473-474. ]
