Everyone Who Knows Franz Kafka Probably Has Seen This Photo Of Him, With Him Slightly Smiling At The

everyone who knows franz kafka probably has seen this photo of him, with him slightly smiling at the viewer, while remaining to look a bit lost. the picture was taken in 1908, making kafka 25 years old at the time.

but wait - the photo is cropped!

kafka is petting a dog! but there is more to this picture, it still remains cropped -

that's better, that's the one. it reveals kafka not only sitting next to a dog, but also a woman. the question remains - who is she?

the very happy looking woman is juliane "hansi" szokoll, a wine-bar-waitress, who was 22 years old when the photo was taken. not much is known about her relationship to kafka.

according to the german biographer and literary scholar rüdiger safranski, hansi was also a part-time sex-worker.

that would explain, where kafka might have met her - and also why she mostly was cropped out of the picture, to show kafka in the way, that people wanted him to see for a long time - innocent and somewhat mysterious.

Just so we’re clear where this blog stands in light of recent events:

Trans Rights are Human rights

Black lives matter

Abortions should be legal and safe

Healthcare needs to be free

This isn’t even really about politics anymore, because if you disagree on any of these points, our views and moral compasses are so fundamentally different that I want nothing to do with you.

And this isn’t about “earning brownie points” or coming across as woke or some other bullshit.

This is pest control
