「會見」卡夫卡

卡夫卡被捷克人變得很俗氣。在布拉格，到處都見卡夫卡。卡夫卡的名字被用於咖啡室和書店，他的肖像則被印在水杯、T-shirt、環保袋、磁磚片、啤牌等商品上。卡夫卡為人低調、內向，想不到死後被如此利用。

雖然我如此說，但我亦忍不住買下了卡夫卡的明信片、環保袋和紀念小書。布拉格有一間設計旅遊商品的公司聰明地將卡夫卡漫畫化，將商品變藝術品，我覺得比用他的照片效果更好。

我買了卡夫卡的Letter to Father，我對他的父子關係很感興趣。

我也到了他位於新猶太墓園的墓，與他聊聊天。

Fun Explosive設計的卡夫卡圖像，是否很特別？

"... you have worked hard your entire life, sacrificing everything for your children, especially me; as a result, I have lived 'like a lord', have had complete freedom to study whatever I wanted, and have had no cause for material worries, indeed for worries of any kind at all; you demanded no gratitude for that-- you know 'the gratitude of children' -- but still you expected at least some sort of cooperation, some sign of sympahty; instead I have always hidden from you in my room, among my books, with crazy friends, in extravagant ideas; I have never spoken to you openly, I never came to you in the synagogue... never showed any sense of family, I never took an interest in the shop or any other concerns of yours... and while I don't lift a finger for you (I don't even get you a theatre ticket), I do everything for friends."

－－卡夫卡的父子關係，與現今的父子關係並無不同。原來每一個年代的父親和兒子都會出現這種磨擦。

卡夫卡的墓。他與父母合葬。生前關係疏離，死後卻葬在一起。有人獻花，有人獻硬幣。我沒有準備花，所以獻上硬幣。

如果不是他的好友Max Brod對他的遺言陽奉陰遺，我們便不會認識卡夫卡。

墓園內的林蔭道。

卡夫卡的三個妹妹都在二戰時死於集中營，十分悲慘。卡夫卡早死，不用經歷二戰，是不幸也是幸。
