The blog of Franz Kafka

Via moleskinerie, the diaries of Franz Kafka presented in blog format, in English or Deutsch:

Diaries in the public domain seem natural candidates for the weblog format. While the Kafka Project has already made the critical edition of Kafka’s diaries available online, this site aims to supplement that work by providing a public-domain translation in English and a space for discussion (in the event of a talkative readership).

On a related topic, I find it hilarious that the Pepys’ Diary is being blocked by the Internet filter at work. Perhaps they don’t like discussion of tennis-ball-sized stones blocking the urinary tract. By the way, if it isn’t done already, I’d like to propose March 26th be recognized as Pepys Stone Day and celebrated in some appropriate manner.
