Reading Gustav Meyrink's
The Golem (1915). Daedelus Press PB.
Another Xmas present etc. A contemporary of Kafka, you can certainly see the influence, in that the protagonist is "hemmed in" by his situation. About halfway through, I got the strangest deja vu and felt I was reading
The Castle again. Never had this whilst reading before......(cue TZ theme haha)
The film was based on this book, so anyone who hasn't had the chance to see Weneger's remaining print of this eerie proto horror tale should do so before I finish it haha. Or I learn to use the spoiler mode properly.....
