Does Law Read Kafka?
June 12th, 2008
Rico and Erica have both read at least a couple works of Kafka, in translation, but Rico says she prefers Milan Kundera. These two Czechs came up because Rico said she studies finance but wishes she could focus on literature. The Kafka should still come in handy once she enters a cubicle.
Please note that I have a gnawing feeling that there is a debate somewhere on whether Kafka can be considered Czech. Or maybe this isn’t even debated; he was a Jew from Prague who wrote in German.

Interesting that both of these Beijing beauties are sporting geek glasses (the frames look identical!)…it is a trend I’ve succumbed to as well.

interesting to see that the trend of geek glasses also reached beijing…have you already seen more people wearing them? if so, that would be an interesting development, as i would consider geek glasses an european/us trend, i haven’t noticed them in japanese and korean streetfashion, where the kids from beijing usually get their inspiration.
by the way, i would consider kafka austrian, as by the time he lived, prague was part of the austro-hungarian monarchy and also his writing style is kind of austrian…

click the blog from the crease post in style forum…
I greatly prefer kafka, and i think he’s czech. if he’s not, then in fact any figure born before end of WWI can be think of as Austrian ( or Hungarian ? )
just my thought
