Black Icon
Wednesday, July 3rd is Franz Kafka’s birthday (in 1883) —
my black comedy icon.
He taught me how to laugh
at some of the horrors of life
and to write about them.
“A non-writing writer is a monster
courting insanity,” sayeth Franz.
In “the Castle,” Kafka reminds
his reader: “Follow your most
intense obsessions mercilessly".
And I have.
