before he died, kafka asked his friend to burn all his unpublished manuscripts. his friend decided instead to devote himself to getting them published. while we may be better off for it, i wonder if kafka is upset about this. if there is an upset to be.

also: "Kafka's sister Ottla, because of her marriage to an "Aryan," is exempt from Nazi deportation. Disdaining the preferential treatment, she divorces her husband and chooses to be led away; she ultimately is taken to the concentration camp in Auschwitz, where she dies."

how... i can't even imagine.

p.s. noses belong in books
