Kafka Was A Porno-Monger

Kafka, the Wanker

Or, more precisely, a “boulevardier, whore-monger, and drooler over pornography”.

That’s how this review summarizes James Hawes’ description of Kafka in his new book, Excavating Kafka. Hawes was able to get into Kafka’s porn stash and includes copies of this wank material to illustrate Kafka’s humanness, in contrast to the saintly picture that Hawes claims is painted by Kafka scholars.

And according to this write-up in Times Online, it’s not just soft vanilla erotica:

“These are not naughty postcards from the beach. They are undoubtedly porn, pure and simple. Some of it is quite dark, with animals committing fellatio and girl-on-girl action… It’s quite unpleasant.”

So basically it’s the pre-Nazi equivalent of furry porn, plus some sapphic delights. That doesn’t sound unpleasant at all.
