Aww, I'd forgotten all about this book. Many moons ago, I was going to write my senior thesis on, roughly, "Sadism and Masochism in the Stories of Franz Kafka," with this book as one of my primary sources. I inhaled this book (and several others), wrote about 30 pages, consulted with the ancient visiting Kafka scholar whose class I'd been taking, wrote another dozen pages, then realized I'd rather put out my own eyes than write any more on this vaguely creepy topic.

I did a creative thesis instead. (Looking back, maybe I was kind of a wimp.)

Tara you weren't a wimp: you've got to love what you write about. Maybe you saved your ancient professor from a premature heart attack, who knows.


Oriana Haha thank you! I like that framing of my decision very much. : )
