Shamefaced Lanky And Impure In Heart
"Shamefaced Lanky and Impure in Heart" (German: "Der Unredliche in seinem Herzen") is the title usually given to Franz Kafka's earliest surviving work of fiction, a short story that he wrote in 1902 and that has survived only because it was included in a letter to his friend Oskar Pollak. Background It is unclear whether "Shamefaced Lanky and Impure in Heart" was written for the letter, which Kafka sent to Pollack postmarked 20 December 1902, or if he had worked on it previously. All that Kafka writes about the story is that it is "new and hard to tell." It is similarly unknown whether Kafka considered publishing the story, or even thought of it as a stand-alone piece. The story has never been included in any collection of Kafka's fiction and appears only in '' Letters to Friends, Family, and Editors'' (German: ''Briefe 1902-1924''), where it is embedded within the letter sent to Pollack. Plot The story describes a meeting between Impure in Heart, a dandy who lives in a big city " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
