Hmmm The Stoker was interesting, and I liked the commentary on the immigrant experience, but it felt a little slow??

Wow… “The Judgement” hit hard…

“l am as I am, and that’s all there is to it… I can hardly take a pair of scissors to myself, and cut out a different person who might be a better friend of him.”

Finished Contemplation. It took me about three prose poems to realize that these were not interconnected chapters of the same narrative lmao As if with all collections, some sections hit and others missed, but it was interesting to see how Kafka’s writing is both varied and consistent in its mystery and absurdity. “The Plight of the Bachelor” and “The Businessman” resonated with me the most.
