...Italian poet. Actually, the Italian word for ice cream means nothing more lyrical than "frozen." But at its subtle, supercreamy best, it is as different from the standard American variety as Soave is from 7Up.

...expected his manuscripts to be burned "without exception and preferably unread." That they were not was a betrayal of his wishes, and a permanent grant to world literature. To read him as some Slavic oracle is to miss his importance as a writer who could draw out his soul like leviathan. In Kafka's case, seeing the past was a far greater enterprise than foreseeing the future...
