The reservation system that was implemented as a result of Covid for camping in state and national parks combined with recession indicator of higher earners planning camping trips is just such a big fat annoyance! People who don’t really know or care about camping etiquette book places months in advance and have enough disposable income that they don’t bother to cancel the reservations, now campsites are always booked up but parks are actually half-empty, I don’t really see people talking about this and it seems like there’s no energy going towards fixing it. It’s so broken

Original: “Zwei schöne schwedische Jungen mit langen Beinen, die so geformt und gespannt sind, dass man mit der Zunge richtig an ihnen hinfahren könnte.”

In the first edition of Kafka’s diaries, this line was censored by Max Brod, who changed it to “Zwei schöne schwedische Jungen mit langen Beinen” (two handsome Swedish boys with long legs).

From the translator (Benjamin Ross)’s preface in the quoted edition of the text (pp. xvii–xviii):

“Only in the wake of Brod’s death in 1968 did a new generation of Kafka scholars, having gained access to the posthumous papers, uncover the full extent of the interventions by which he had transformed Kafka’s fragmentary, unpolished manuscripts into more structurally coherent, smoothly readable editions. […] On occasion, to be sure, Brod was also simply concerned with his own reputation. In the diaries, the most flagrant example of this may be his omission of some unflattering and embarrassing lines about himself. […] Brod’s editions of Kafka’s unpublished writings above all promoted a certain pious myth of Kafka that Brod also fostered in his interpretive works and memoirs: that of the saintly, prophetic genius, whose purity places him at an elevated remove from the world. The later publication of more reliable German editions and new translations based on them has helped debunk this myth, opening the way for the rediscovery of a less sanctified Kafka. The critical edition of the diaries has furthered this steady dismantling of the Kafka myth, bringing to light facets of the writer formerly obscured, skewed, or neglected.

“These include a more complicated sense of Kafka’s sexuality. Perhaps Brod’s elision of passages that could be read as homoerotic has ultimately drawn more attention to them than they otherwise would have received—still, this very elision suggests that these passages threatened the image of Kafka that Brod was striving to construct. In Kafka’s description of a fellow train passenger, for example, Brod deleted the line ‘His apparently sizable member makes a large bulge in his pants.’ An entry written during Kafka’s stay at a nudist sanatorium that in my translation reads ‘2 beautiful Swedish boys with long legs, which are so formed and taut that one could really only run one’s tongue along them’ Brod condensed to ‘Two handsome Swedish boys with long legs.’ At the sanatorium Kafka stood out among the naked men in keeping on his swimming trunks (‘I’m known as the man with the swimming trunks’) but finally allowed a new acquaintance to sketch him fully unclothed, as he recorded in his notebook: ‘Served as a model for Dr. Schiller. Without swimming trunks. Exhibitionistic experience.’ Brod’s version reads only: ‘Posed for Dr. Sch.’”
