SEX SELLS

The BIG international news of the day is that Kafka looked at porn. This eclipses the news about  possible new manuscripts and illustrations from his own hand. Other things he may have done with his hand are deemed more important.

This is fine by me, for the real Kafka and my Kafka in my manuscript KAFKA IN THE CASTLE have sex, and the more the better, say I. The real Kafka had a wealth of lady friends and also utilized professionals. My Kafka has a torrid affair as he convalesces from an illness. I base this on a couple of cryptic comments the real Kafka makes in some of his letters. Never let facts get in the way of a good story, and if you have facts to augment, so much the better.

In real life the real Kafka took his fiance's friend as a lover. This might help explain why he never married.
