The Travels of Franz Kafka , a website that chronicles the many places and social interactions of Franz. A photographic journal collection of his life as he traveled. For your enjoyment, today being the 125th Anniversary of Franz Kafka's birthday. Cheers.

I was all excited about this, being a fan of both Kafka and travel chronicles, but damn if I can figure out how the site works. You click on a place (once the map loads) and get a b&w photo. Any way to find out what you're looking at?

Maybe the apparent non-functionality of this web site is a Kafkaesque joke?

Oh, I get it. You click on a country and then you click on a labeled city. These are wonderful photos.

It took me a bit to get used to it, but you can figure it out eventually, just keep clicking. Cheers.

Really very beautiful photographs, but in light of Zadie Smith's article in the current New York Review of Books, perhaps they are burdened, too, by the Kafkaesque?

My favorite diary entry by Kafka, on the day WWI started: "Today Germany declared war on Russia. Had a swimming lesson this afternoon." Thanks for the link--very interesting.

I enjoyed the stories of Kafka's two visits to Cicely, Alaska on Northern Exposure. Do they count?

Thanks. Bookmarked for later. New book out, by the way: Kafka Comes to America.
