In the midst of a long and very interesting NY Times Magazine article about the complexities surrounding the fate of Franz Kafka's papers, comes this passage:
Kafka's Last Trial wrote:In 1923, (Puah) Ben-Tovim visited Kafka and Dora Diamant in Berlin. She found them living in bohemian squalor, reading to each other in Hebrew and fantasizing about opening a restaurant in Tel Aviv, where Diamant would work in the kitchen and Kafka would wait on tables. "Dora didn’t know how to cook, and he would have been hopeless as a waiter," Ben-Tovim observed. Then again, "in those days most restaurants in Tel Aviv were run by couples just like them."
The concept of a restaurant as run by Kafka ... the mind boggles!
