Savages
Can we become a bit Kafka-esque. Franz Kafka (1883 – 1924) was a German-language novelist and writer from Prague. He is widely regarded as one of the major figures of 20th-century literature. His work fuses elements of realism and the fantastic. It typically features isolated protagonists facing bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible socio-bureaucratic powers. Kafka's work has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation, existential anxiety, guilt, and absurdity. His best known works include the novella The Metamorphosis and novels The Trial and The Castle. The term Kafkaesque has entered English to describe absurd situations like those depicted in his writing.

The Voodoo shop of Caribbean solstice 🏝️
Summer solstice Caribbean style is not your Momma's solstice. Better break out the sunscreen and air conditioning, which, BTW, most of the Island folks cannot afford to pay the enormous electrical bills for. The lovely tourists may need to keep their cool cars, buses and limos close by.

Talented creator spotlight #7, Alina Irfan
I find reading the works of Alina to be akin to breaths of fresh air on an otherwise warm, balmy and barmy day. She/he only just joined in June 2024 and has written 5 stories so far, but I find this creator's work a joy to read. It brings back such nostalgia of days when we roamed art galleries and bookstores just for the simple joy of living.
