In common with his beat buddy Kerouac, Burroughs seemed to love cats almost as much as he loved breaking open Benzedrine inhalers. He even wrote a book called
The Cat Inside."

FRANZ KAFKA IN THE OFFICE
Here's an excerpt on a new book
that collects Kafka's office writings: As we follow Kafka through reports and claims and arguments and petitions concerning building trades, wooden toys, quarries, farms, automobiles, trade inspections, risk assessments, accident prevention, the effects of the war on insurance premiums and practices, what to do about the apparitions the war has thrown onto the city streets: ‘men who could move ahead only by taking jerky steps; poor, pale and gaunt, they leaped as though a merciless hand held them by the neck, tossing them back and forth in their tortured movements.’
