1974rif. 1003999New York: Push Pin Studio 1974. First separate edition of Philip Roth's experimental short story in which Franz Kafka does not die young of tuberculosis but instead escapes to Newark New Jersey to teach Hebrew to schoolboys during the Second World War: "we vent on him our resentment at having to learn an ancient calligraphy at the very hour we should be out screaming our heads off on the ballfield." Inspired by Roth's experience teaching Kafka's fiction the story is dedicated to his students at the University of Pennsylvania and was first published in American Review in 1973. This separate publication issued as Push Pin Graphic 59 by Milton Glaser's Push Pin Studio represents the first appearance of Glaser's illustrations which draw on historical photographs of Kafka his sister Ottla and his lover Dora Diamant.

1917rif. 371699Budapest 1917. 1 vols. 4-1/8 x 7-1/8 inches. Matted in double glazed frame. Fine. 1 vols. 4-1/8 x 7-1/8 inches. Envelope sent Express from Budapest to Rudolf Fuchs by author Franz Kafka who was writing from the Hotel Imperial Budapest. Signed in the third person Dr. Kafka on the back flap. Rudolf Fuchs 1890-1942 poet and social critic was a member of Kafka's literary circle in Prague. He knew Kafka since 1912. In an article in Zeitschrift für Germanistik scholar Ilse Seehase discusses three wartime communications from Kafka to Fuchs. The second of these dated 14 July 1917 was "probably" written in Budapest and looked ahead to a meeting in Vienna Seehase p. 179. This autograph envelope postmarked 14 July confirms that Kafka was indeed in Budapest when he wrote Fuchs: he had just become engaged for the second time to Felice Bauer. On 16 July 1917 Kafka held a conversation with Otto Groß Anton Kuh and Rudolf Fuchs at a café in Vienna. In August of that year Kafka was diagnosed with the tuberculosis that would later kill him. Fuchs published an early obituary of Kafka on 4 June 1924. Fuchs described the effect of his writing: "He perceived as no other the romance of the quotidian and the poetry of familiar things. The effect of just one of his short observations is magical. As in a dream a dense realistic dream. All that he puts into words is so vital and yet an experience one hasn't seen before and even his simple phrasing has the grace of utter strangeness." Fuchs escaped the Nazis to London where he composed his Erinnerungen an Franz Kafka. A posthumous collection Ein wissender Soldat. Gedichte und Schriften aus dem Nachlass von Rudolf Fuchs was published there in 1943. Kafka autograph material is rare. Cf.
