There's an interesting story on Haaretz about Franz Kafka.
From said story...
On a quiet street in the heart of Tel Aviv, not far from Ben-Gurion Boulevard, stands an old apartment building with a well-tended garden in front. The exterior does not reveal the exciting story that has been hidden for decades inside the building, to which the eyes of scholars and lovers of literature are now turned: Many researchers believe that in a ground-floor apartment there can be found the remnants of the estate of the great 20th-century writer Franz Kafka, whose 125th birthday was celebrated on July 3.
What have documents, letters, postcards, sketches and other personal items of the famous Czech writer been doing for decades in a private apartment in Tel Aviv? Why have they not been transferred to the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem? What has been their fate and where are they today?
The image above, of course, is artwork based upon Kafka's most famous work The Metamorphosis.
