PLEASE EXCUSE MY ABSENCE
You guys. Graduate school has been...all-consuming to say the least. I feel like Frodo marching his ring to Mordor. ABANDON HOPE, ALL YE WHO ENTER!
Anyway I miss you all & I miss talking about Kafka & seeing all your weirdo memes (has the vore thing died out yet??? asking for a friend) so I will be back soon, soon, soon with more fun stuff for ya’ll.
HOPE EVERYONE IS TAKING CARE & EATING THEIR FRUITS & VEGGIES & READING LOTS OF KAFKA K BYE

We all have wings, but they have not been of any avail to us and if we could tear them off, we would do so.

'Don't you want to join us?' I was recently asked by an acquaintance when he ran across me alone after midnight in a coffeehouse that was already almost deserted. 'No, I don't,' I said.

You raven, I said, you old bird of ill omen, what are you always doing on my path? Wherever I go, you perch there, ruffling your scanty plumage. Nuisance! Yes, it said, and paced up and down before me with its head lowered, like a schoolmaster talking to the class, that is true; it is becoming almost distressing even to me.

In 1912, the twenty-nine-year-old Franz Kafka, a lifelong resident of Prague whose occasional travels had taken him no farther than Paris, decided to write a novel set in America."
E.L. Doctorow’s foreword to Kafka’s Amerika

Hooked on Kafka
“As Gregor Samsa awoke from unsettling dreams one morning, he found himself transformed in his bed into a monstrous vermin.” -The Metamorphosis “It was late evening when K. arrived.” -The Castle “Someone must have slandered Josef K., for one morning, without having done anything wrong, he was arrested.” -The Trial “A trapeze artist--this art, practiced high in the vaulted domes of the great variety theaters, is admittedly one of the most difficult humanity can achieve--had so arranged his life that, as long as he kept working in the same building, he never came down from his trapeze by night or day, at first only from a desire to perfect his skill, but later because custom was too strong for him.” -First Sorrow “During these last decades the interest in professional fasting has markedly diminished.” -The Hunger Artist “I was stiff and cold, I was a bridge, I lay over a ravine.” -The Bridge “As Karl Rossmann, a poor boy of sixteen who had been packed off to America by his parents because a servant girl had seduced him and got herself a child by him, stood on the liner slowly entering the harbour of New York, a sudden burst of sunshine seemed to illuminate the Statue of Liberty, so that he saw it in a new light, although he had sighted it long before.” -Amerika

Sorry for Being M.I.A.!
Hi guys!! I would just like to quickly apologize for being M.I.A. recently. I am still lurking Tumblr but not posting as much because I am: a) currently trying to survive my last term as an undergraduate and b) prepping for graduate school in the fall!!! I thankfully have a whole sheaf of Kafka quotes to post soon from a wonderful book I read recently, entitled, "Conversations with Kafka." Prepare to be so inspired!! Hope everyone is doing well and as always, keepin' it Kafka 😎
