Books Is It Cockroach Porn?
posted by on August 6 at 13:08 PM
It’s time to study Kafka’s collection of pornography:
Even today, the pornography would be “on the top shelf”, Dr Hawes said, noting that his American publisher did not want him to publish it at first. “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.”“Academics have pretended it did not exist,” Dr Hawes said. “The Kafka industry doesn’t want to know such things about its idol.”
I’m more surprised that Dr. Hawes equates “girl-on-girl action” with bestiality porn. I wonder what his porn collection looks like? Also amusing: the article refers to Kafka as the “literary Kafkaesque genius.” Kafka is, indeed, if nothing else, Kafkaesque.
the girl-on-girl action is decidedly "lesbianesque," as well.
You can buy naughty postcards at the beach?
Girl-on-girl? Unpleasant? Totally depends who the two chicks are.
Says the guy who likes to lecture me about never having traveled anywhere. Yes, Will. You can buy naughty postcards at the beach.
Yeah, we wouldn't want people to start thinking that Kafka was a twisted man who had a grim view of society's morals, now would we?
Cock. Roaches.
Two things you'll find in abundance at the Stranger offices?
C'mon, someone had to type it.
Kafka's insect was a dung beetle, not a cockroach.
Too much pr0n will do that to you.
Turn you into a giant dung beetle, that is.
Don't say you aren't warned!
POIDH.
Shocking! Just shocking! Horrifying! Can I read it, please?
Because all porn leads up to girl-on-girl, everything (gonzo, men-on-man, bestiality) to this one point, the rest of porn is nothing but what will become girl-on-girl.
he didn't say girl and girl equated bestiality. he said he said AND as in two seperate itesm. also kafkaesque has entered into our vocabulary to describe things apart from kafka...it has a meaning of its own. from wiki which i grabbed quickly online...The term, which is quite fluid in definition, has also been described as "marked by a senseless, disorienting, often menacing complexity.
so it is possible for kafka to be unkafkaesque
That's one of the funniest lines from "The Squid and the Whale." When the kid says of Metamorphosis, "It's very Kafkaesque."
