Franz Kafka; a German-language writer of novels and short stories, regarded by critics as one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. Kafka strongly influenced genres such as existentialism. Wikipedia

I was talking bout thet existentialism just the other day whilst trying to find the extension to a ratchet.

when I gets as old as him, I won't care bout no ratchets no more.8O

I'm sorry but this almost reads like you don't know he's dead.

It'll be extremely ironic if, as an existentialist, Kafka's soul was still alive and well in the afterlife.

I believe Kafka died back in the nineteen twenties so he probably won't complain.

Let's see i've read The Trial and Metamorphosis (in translation of course).. i can't call them nice bed time reads. The Trial was based on his own experience in working for an insurance company bureacracy as a young man.. a pretty well matches my own opinion of them.

Yes, well, it's necessary to have a sense of humour.

Google doesn't know Kafka's birthday. Kafka doesn't know Kafka's birthday. It is what we say it is.

Kerrect y'are, Boney..

Doubt if Kafka knows a whole lot - unless there truly is an afterlife.

But, you know best, as we get told time and time again.

Does it not get onerous, having all that weight of knowledge on your shoulders?

Back on the meds, Bonette. Don't hurt yourself. The voices aren't real.
