A bug's life. Really - International Herald Tribune

In a scandal that's sending shock waves through both the publishing industry and academia, the author Franz Kafka has been revealed to be a fraud. " 'The Metamorphosis' - purported to be the fictional account of a man who turns into a large cockroach - is actually non-fiction," according to a statement released by Kafka's editor, who spoke only on the condition that he be identified as E.
oh yes that little thing called imagination -- making strange -- ostranenie from Victor Shklovsky - the joys of narrative - take the world we know and twist it -- oh i'm sorry how very old fashioned of me it's just that i'm linked into and in love with a literary and oral tradition that probably predates agriculture and goes back to africa and our hunter gatherer roots |

The actual condition of Kafka's neighbor, a Prague salesman who didn't return our calls or e-mail messages requesting comment, is known as entomological dysplasia, and is somewhat rare. It results in the development over time of a hard carapace, a segmented body and antennas.
Yuck! Frankly, though, I can hardly believe this condition exists if Google doesn't have any articles or pictures associated with a search of it. :-) -janelane, grossed out |
