Kafka would often have his public readings interrupted by roiling laughter coming from his audience. He would stop and, in spite of himself, grin and even chuckle along with his hooting followers. I imagine his was a deft presentation, yet rather more sly than dry.

This caught my eye because, all continuing proof that Kafka has his finger on the pulse of contemporary bureaucracy perks me up. Plus the fact he is referenced. However, the sub tale of physical "red tape" also interests me. I actually possess a long strand of real "red tape" (as accurately...

What interests me as much as anything about this new book dealing with the effect of fathers upon their sons is the cover. There, down in a tiny corner, is Franz Kafka. He apparently will hold his own with Ben Franklin and Osama bin Laden.

I have read numerous interpretations of Kafka's works by those who have their own axes to grind. This is indicatave of how great Kafka's observations are - they can be seen in many a slant. However, I think Kafka was not interested in whatever fuel - Capitalism/Socialism/Fascism - fed the machine....

Kafka had much interest in the USA and the ways of the 'new' world. He had (I think) one or two cousins who lived in the US. However his main desire in any move (other than to actually get away from Prague) was to mix tradition with the 'new'. He often talked of moving to Palestine....

First, Giorgio Armani had a Paris exhibit for his Kafka-inspired line. Now Sally LaPointe, who has put some of the costumes on Lady Gaga's back, graces the runway with a...

As far as I know Kafka never dabbled in play-writing. He enjoyed the theatre and attended often, though he seemed to more enjoy the broad and more tradition-bound Yiddish theatre of the time. One would be hard-pressed to imagine what he might think of seeing his own work adapted to the stage....

Kafka liked the ladies and also liked tea, though perhaps of a more herbal type. In fact, there are references to a tea cup he kept on his desk which was spirited away by his secretary. It is supposed to still be somewhere. I would like to have it. And this last lady in his life, Dora Diament,...

You can't win them all - Kafka would be the first to tell you this.

Kudos to any theatre troupe that offers the broad spectrum of Kafka from his humour to his horror. Sounds like a roller coaster of a ride to me - in a Kafka Fun House.
