Question

Hello Rabbi,
Assuming you know the story with Kafka—that he asked that his writings not be published, but in the end they found various justifications to publish them, etc…
I'm really wrestling with the question of whether it's okay to read his writings.
I wanted to know: (a) what is the position of Jewish law on a case like this? And (b) given the distinction you make between Jewish law and morality, what is your moral position?
I've tried to work it out for myself, and for now I'm avoiding continuing to read him, even though I'm very curious. I thought maybe I'm being too strict, and there's not really anything to it, since he's no longer here to suffer from the intrusion into intimate materials or anything like that.
But on the other hand, I'm worried that I'm being too lenient with myself through rationalizations and assumptions.
Thank you
