Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to find states of joy in a writer whom no one suspects of such affects. In a contradictious way, the authors try to catch the „sad person from Prague” in the act: expressing happiness, revealing states of excitement, or even joy. As a result of their research, the authors conclude that moments of well-being in life are shown in Kafka’s diary entries not as experienced but as squandered. That’s why the eponymous „dis/joy” has such a bitter meaning.
