Would like to see this in B&W. More Kafka, maybe?

If this just turns into photos of creepy as dolls I’m going to have to abandon my own thread.

That's a drastic step to take Marty.... I never was much of a Kafka fan but perhaps this photo is a step in the right direction away from dolls. ;-)
Being a Herman Hesse fan this might also be more from Journey to the East.

Pretty much a Kafkaesque turn, though, a truly grotesque metamorphosis.

Touche.
At least I won’t mistake this for the kind of throat complaint that is “the occupational malady of travellers”. Kafka was a lot funnier than people give him credit for.

I told you I read he read The Trial to his friends while he was writing it and they howled with laughter. Maybe we do not understand Kafka completely. Very possible. That said, the sinister side is fascinating.
Bring on the clown. ;o)

I’m not freaked by clowns, I just find them clichéd and boring.
YMMV, natch.

Maybe his friends had the same weird sense of humor, not completely understandable.
Last week I reread "The Castle" after 45 years and was disappointed. Amazing how my perception has changed over the decades.
Worst of all Kafka´s language: No poetic quality whatsoever, no flow, but instead the clumsy and overly complicated diction of a clerk working for an insurance company.
The story is boring and tough as old boots.
Murakami comes to mind as a modern writer kafkaesque who is so much more enjoyable to read.
Kafka wanted his manuscripts to be destroyed after his death...

There is so much academic literature in Kafka I am sure we know as much about him as we ever will. But you will never understand his works completely. That’s the point: it is very easy to suddenly get a sense of inhabiting a world in which one’s customary habits of thought and behaviour are confounded and made hopeless.

That´s precisely the feeling I get when I open one of the owner manuals of my digital cameras.
