Inn-terestimg man, Kafka, no?

-Venus of Furs, "foundation of masochism"--"enormous influence" on Kafka. Masochism is where you get whipped, right? Sadism, you're the whipper, masochism, you're the whippee?

-Czech, Jewish, middle class. Lawyer. That explains the masochism. But gave up the Law for a career at the "Workmen's Accident Insurance Administration." Retired at the "Workmen's Accident Insurance Administration." Wrote at night. By day, "Workmen's Accident Insurance Administration."

-Engaged to same woman dos. Then engaged to another woman. Once. Kafka's father said no to marriage.

-Got involved with a third woman. Her father said no to marriage. Maybe he should have gone to mothers.

-Died of TB. Last words, "Kill me, or you are a murderer."

Okay, Kafka, let's go, don't know how long this is going to last! but we begin.
