Gustav Janouch met Franz Kafka, the celebrated author of The Metamorphosis, as a seventeen-year-old fledgling poet. As Francine Prose notes in her wonderful preface, “they fell into the habit of taking long strolls through the city, strolls on which Kafka seems to have said many amazing, incisive, literary, and per- things to his companion and interlocutor, the teenage Boswell of Prague. Crossing a windswept square, apropos of something or other, Kafka tells Janouch, ‘Life is infinitely great and profound as the immensity of the stars above us. One can only look at it through the narrow keyhole of one’s personal experience. But through it one perceives more than one can see. So above all one must keep the keyhole clean.’”
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.”

评分在卡夫卡研究里,Janouch这本书一般不被当做可靠资料,还有研究者罗列了书里的无数错误。但G. Neumann觉得此书很有价值。他认为对于卡夫卡所说出的看法见解,Janouch还是从本质上做出了正确的传达。其实主要是他觉得Janouch资质平平,不足以杜撰卡夫卡这些智慧的语句。 对于我...
评分**何苦读那些昙花一现的东西? **(爱伦坡)他写了许多阴森可怕的故事,目的在于熟悉世界,适应世界。 **每个魔术师都有自己的仪式。 **您的作品非常清新。(但是)您谈得更多的是事情在您身上唤起的印象,而不是事件和事物本身。这是抒情诗。您在抚摸世界,而不是去把握世界。...
