digital kafka - an interactive audiovisual hyperpoetic trip into kafka's mind (also: portrait of kafka as a digital poem).
"Albert Camus once said that 'the whole of (Franz) Kafka's art consists in compelling the reader to re-read him.'

Thus a second reading--- will hopefully--- shed light on the preceding ones..."
