Kafka trial

I have just finished reading a rather interesting essay in the London Review of Books about the Kafka trial. Kafka left unpublished and published papers to Max Brod with the explicit instructions that they should be destroyed at his death. Brod didn't do this and instead gave them to Esther Hoffe, his secretary, with whom he had a relationship with. On Esther's death, the papers passed to her daughters, Eva and Ruth. Eva and Ruth are proposing to sell the papers - unsighted - by weight. People can bid on a kilogram of paper and then later discover what they have bought. Never mind a pound of flesh, what about a pound of paper. What do you think?
