Happy Birthday, Franz Kafka

A selection of celebratory links

Interviewer: What have you learned from Kafka?

Joyce Carol Oates: To make a jest of the horror. To take myself less seriously.

Lee Milazzo, Conversations with Joyce Carol Oates

Today marks the anniversary of Franz Kafka's birth back in 1883. To celebrate, I thought I would add a few links to Kafka material on the internet. Hope you enjoy:

• The Modern World | Das Schloss: A Site for Franz Kafka
• The Kafka Project | A website preserving loyalty to Kafka's original manuscripts
• Articles about Franz Kafka in the New York Times
• Articles about Franz Kafka in The Guardian
• Quotations from Franz Kafka's work at Wikiquote.org
• Franz Kafka at This Space
• Franz Kafka at ReadySteadyBlog
• The Next Village | Film, art and fiction inspired by Kafka's eponymous story.

It's not quite the same as reading The Trial, or the Complete Short Stories. But then, what is?
