"Neither concisely nor in French"

The Kafka Project

I found this site a few weeks back while searching for Nabokov's famous essay on The Metamorphosis. One virtue (among many others) of Nabokov's analysis is the use of the word "vulgarians", the humourous possibilities of which were recently brought to my attention by the Yangry Star.

One thing I like about sites like these is the sheer volume of material available -- this one has complete texts, critical writing, bibliography... even movie trailers. Unfortunately the English translations are not available for the longer stories but what the heck, you can't have everything. Those snickering at my insatiable appetite for an already overanalyzed writer I'll merely direct to the Hegel quote that headlines this entry.
