Moved "list of selected works" down - includes a lot of unnecessary repetition, and the section's title is inaccurate - might be best to integrate into main list. |

== List of selected works == |
|||
Many of Kafka's works have uncertain dates of writing and/or were written over long periods of time. In such cases the year the writing of the work began is used. Year and place of first publication is used. Many works, including all novels, were never finished by Kafka. |
|||
For many works the German text is available, for several works also an English translation. It is linked in columns "de" and "en". |
