Descriere

They talk about writing (Kafka's own, but also that of his favorite writers: Poe, Kleist, and Rimbaud, who ``transforms vowels into colors``) as well as technology, film, crime, Darwinism, Chinese philosophy, carpentry, insomnia, street fights, Hindu scripture, art, suicide, and prayer. ``Prayer,`` Kafka notes, brings ``its infinite radiance to bed in the frail little cradle of one's own existence.
