And Some Folk Say Kafka Is A Gloomy Gus

In my novel, “Kafka In The Castle”, I fill in his missing diary entries. He might have not written on these days, but it is more generally believed he just desatroyed them. It is – actually – generally believed he destroyed 70% of all his writings.

However, for his birthday, I gave him an entry which ended with:

03 July 1917

In celebration of the day, I did not make it my last.

All this is to celebrate the NEW release of many of his letters and drawings and creative work, by the National Library of Israel They are no all online..

Better The Ghosts You Know

Better the ghosts you know

Not A Ghost Of A Chance In This Time Of Pandemic – Rum A Necessity

My crew of characters in my current novel, “There Was A Time, Oh Pilgrim, When The Stones Were Not So Smooth”, have been with me for the past five years.When COVID hit, they decided to stay together in one dwelling.To pass the time, they decided to tell Ghost Stories.

Since 29 09 202, I have been writing nothing but Ghost Stories. Sevenall told. I finished the last one today.

In effect, I have written a complete book of short stories, all stand-alone, for the past seven months. Each story was true to each individual character, but that was not important to the stories themselves.It was important to the novel.

This has been a unique situation for me, to wander off in the
