Kafka as character

[Paul DiFilippo]

The list's interest in Kafka emboldens me enuff to toot my own
horn (and the horns of a couple of other writers):  the latest
issue of SF AGE (Jan 1997, on newstands everywhere) contains
my story "The Jackdaw's Last Case", which reimagines Kafka as the
Shadow in NYC--obviously an alternate existence.  A review of
the latest Guy Davenport collection mentions a story therein 
w/ Kafka as protagonist.  A friend tells me Roth wrote one such
also.  And I know my Sf buddy Carter Scholz did one some years ago
too.  Pretty soon we'll have enuff for an anthology:  KAFKA THE 
HERO!
