@sepulkralkreatur and i binge-watched the new kafka biopic-series, produced by german television. and i got to say - i loved it so much.

it combined the littlest details from kafka's life and also his aftermath, with his literary work - which often was linked to certain events. for those who read his work and diaries/biographies, spotting all the little references was very fun. and one of my most favourite things was probably the narrator with the reoccurring break of the fourth wall - as well as the music and collage-esque animations.

every episode was told through the perspective of significant people from kafka's life and dealt with a certain theme:

- as well as a 7th bonus-episode "kafka and me", which was more of a documental biography take with interviews, with a dog narrating the scenario and kafka's impact on our society.

joel basman did a great job at portraying franz kafka. the voice, the laugh and facial expressions being awkward all were very fitting and closing the hole, that we as readers experience towards kafka as a person.

the non-linear series served the exact atmosphere, that i associate with kafka: tragedy, humour, and the absurd. daniel kehlmann and david schalko did a great job on writing it. chapeau!

Have you read...

"It is fitting that I'm beginning a new notebook up here. New surroundings and new ideas, a new beginning. Fresh air." These are the opening lines of the journal kept by the narrator of Daniel Kehlmann's spellbinding new novel: the record of the seven days that he, his wife, and his four-year-old daughter spend in a house they have rented in the mountains of Germany—a house that thwarts the expectations of his recollection and seems to defy the very laws of physics. The narrator is eager to finish a screenplay, entitled Marriage, for a sequel to the movie that launched his career, but something he cannot explain is undermining his convictions and confidence, a process he is recording in this account of the uncanny events that unfold as he tries to understand what, exactly, is happening around him—and in himself.

Last year @hedwig-dordt recommended Tyll, by Daniel Kehlmann. I recently got tired of waiting for my library to get the audiobook so I borrowed the digital version, and I loved it!

I don't normally enjoy historical fiction: I spend most of the time wondering how much is true and wishing I were reading an actual history book. But Kehlmann's characters feel so real: not caricatures of 17th century people, and not modern people stuck in a 17th century setting. Real people of their time and place, each with their own distinctive and convincing inner world.

The storytelling is great too. Very evocative, and I love how the stories weave together.

I am now going to go read about the actual historical people.

“Above us Tyll Ulenspiegel turned, slowly and carelessly—not like someone in danger but like someone looking around with curiosity. He stood with his right foot lengthwise on the rope, his left crosswise, his knees slightly bent and his fists on his hips. And all of us, looking up, suddenly understood what lightness was. We understood what life could be like for someone who really did whatever he wanted, who believed in nothing and obeyed no one; we understood what it would be like to be such a person, and we understood that we would never be such people.”

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but no book recommendation algorithm can beat longtime Tumblr followers taking the past two years of your posting history into consideration before going “I think you’d like [book]”. Anyway, shoutout to whoever it was who recommended Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann a while back, I’m reading it now and really enjoying it.
