Kafka at Sea? AtD pp. 516-519

[Monte Davis]

I was just re-reading the wonderful _Stupendica_ transformation passage.
I've never read Kafka's _Amerika_, but somewhere along the line got an idea
of how it begins. Now I've looked that up

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stoker

A-and the rest of the book has hotels and elevators and. iit strikes me that
it would be near-miraculous if that *weren't* part of AtD's brew.

Before I run out to get it, anybody know _Amerika_ well enough to confirm or
deny? 


PS -- for riders on one particular Hollander hobbyhorse, Pynchon and Dante:
there just *might* be some infernalities at play in the engine room. ya
think?
