A Hunger-Artist: Four Stories

I‘m left speechless, my first response is the four stories that make this mini collection are sad as they are beautiful in how they each show the human condition.

The four stories are: First Sorrow; Little Women; A Hunger-Artist; and Josefine the singer, or the Mouse People

Darklunarose He is beautiful. Cats make beautiful companions. 4mo
SpookyDonut @hannah-leeloo He normally does too! Or he‘ll chew on it if I‘m actively reading and not paying attention to him. 4mo
SpookyDonut @Darklunarose He‘s the biggest pain in the butt I‘ve ever had to deal with. He‘s my driveway stray that I took in at 5 weeks old and let me tell you, he has taught me all about that orange cat behavior. I love him. 4mo
Darklunarose @SpookyDonut must be the tabby! I have a brown tabby that was a street rescue as a baby, and my god I have never known a cat like him. It‘s got to be tabitude 4mo

More and more I enjoy reading letters by famous people. They show us another side of this person, one not even the best biography can describe. Here we meet Kafka as he is: Kafka. Writing beautiful letters to his Milena. This love cannot be and will not be, but still they keep on going. That Milenas letters have gone missing is a tragedy. But it also gives this collection a special touch. We have only Kafkas side of view, the recipient is silent.⬇

Jari-chan There's so much emotion in these texts, hope, loss, desperation. One gets into the deepest thoughts of Franz Kafka, and yes, I sometimes remember that he wouldn't have liked being dragged into the light this much. But for us readers these letters are a treasure.

TheAromaofBooks I really enjoy letters as well. Isn't it crazy that a hundred years from now, there won't be volumes like this for famous people of today? Maybe a collection of their tweets?? 3y
Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks Or a collection of Instagram posts? 🤔 3y
