Booked out!
To mark the 100th anniversary of Kafka's death on 3 June, Reinhard Pabst, ,literary scholar, detective, archive expert, truffle hound’ (Frankfurter Rundschau, 2005), invites us on a special kind of trail.
He explores unknown Kafka locations in Frankfurt am Main: from the hotel where Kafka wanted to visit Felice Bauer in 1913, who was in town for an exhibition of business supplies and advertising, to Grete Bloch's (temporary) workplace and the former Frankfurter Zeitung, which, among other things, printed a previously unnoticed engagement announcement in 1914. Along the way, he reports on other interesting traces and new finds, such as two Kafka dedication copies that unexpectedly turned up in the metropolis on the Main. The fact that the real-life model for the ,St Petersburg friend’ in the 1912 story ,The Judgement’ was actually a Frankfurt resident by choice is just one of Pabst's latest discoveries, which he will explain on site in the Westend.
Finally, Frankfurt can also be described as a Kafka city because local publishers, S. Fischer and Stroemfeld, played an important role in the publishing history of his works, letters and diaries. The historical-critical Kafka edition by Roland Reuß and Peter Staengle will be published by Vittorio Klostermann in Frankfurt.
