You do me honor, Carl. Since my mid teens, I’ve viewed the literary life as one of service and intensification of consciousness. Kafka helped me to see better and for the sake of this heightened perception, I continue to sell all else cheap...

It means a lot to me to hear how this piece resonates with you & to learn how you too were marked by Kafka around the same time/stage that I was.

“A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us” says Kafka. And I have tried to dedicate my life to creating such literature. Thanks, again, kindred spirit for this note of recognition. May you be seen/heard 🙇🏻
