Do Furniture and wallpaper have life? Are they in permanent chaos? Are they subject to the workings of systems and so with that are as entropic as all other systems? Do Demiurges treat tailors dummies no different than empty rooms? Can a man turn into the rubber tube of an enema?
In dementia can wise questions come. Tailors Dummy is a work of genius.
So is Birds. Cinnamon Shops and The Comet come so close.
But I don’t feel much different than I did about Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass. I wrote that that was � ....a heady mix of the metaphor with childlike fantasy and delirious dreaming that seemingly mixes the authors life memories/observations that cover his childhood through to the fear of old age and all the trials and tribulations in between.� And for me so is this, the more famous of the authors only two surviving books. All very weird and metaphorical that reaches amazing heights and then has me going Huh? What happened there?

I have long thought so-called inanimate things have some residual vitality. I am not the only one. Related Idea. When watching ted.comvideosabout death process, we see that the death process continues for long after a human dies.
Anyway, I hope to find this book and read it.
Intriguing Review.

Doubt I can do this book justice review wise. By goodness the Tailors Dummy story sure had me thinking about inanimate objects!
The Metamorphosis is a short story by Kafka, probably his most well known work, and if I may suggest, would be a perfect intro. and as it is short, available on line out there.
