July 27, 1914: Kafka struggles to eat a peach
Ate rice Ć la Trautmannsdorf and a peach. A man drinking wine watched my attempts to cut the unripe little peach with my knife. I couldnāt. Stricken with shame under the old manās eyes, I let the peach go completely and ten times leafed through Die Fliegenden BlƤtter. I waited to see if he wouldnāt at last turn away. Finally I collected all my strength and in defiance of him bit into the completely juiceless and expensive peach.Ā
its been 105 years since kafka ate this terrible peach
