Visual Moment | All Eyes on Kafka

JL;DR SUMMARY Franz Kafka's legacy is explored through major exhibitions worldwide, giving insight into the life of the famous Jewish-Czech writer, known for his dark, existential tales.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
