UNIVERSITY OFHONGKONG JEREMY TAMBLING Kafka'sTravels: Exoticism, Colonialism, and the Trafficof Writing. By JOHNZILCOSKY. Basingstoke and New York: Palgrave Macmillan. 2003. xvi + 289 pp. f40. ISBN:0-3I2-23281-0. Hard on the heels of Kafka at the cinema comes Kafka the traveller,with perhaps - who knows?- K the song-and-dance-manwaiting in the wings. But the difference between Hanns Zischler (KaJka GoesTo TheMovies,Schocken, 2002) andJohn Zilcosky is that, whereas Zischler 'normalizes' Kafka (despite the many strange detailsgiven unexpected prominence),Zilcoskyleaves him in the plight in which he found himself:chained to his writing-deskyet, even there, (in the words of a Beckett fragmentof 1937)'alwayselsewhere'. John Zilcosky'sbook has alreadybeen widely welcomed as a landmarkin Kafka studies, and it is not difficult to see why. Here is the man of Peter Mailloux's biography(AHesitation Before Birth,Associated University Presses, I989, and still too little known)in his calling, though it seems to have been more a fate than a calling, as writer:a complex, contradictory, self-cancelling creature, the dark obverse of his numerous, apparently effortless, performances as life and soul of the party. Zilcosky'sKafka is never 'performative'in this sense, though the word makes sense in a more restrictedway as we watch him propose a strategy, double-back on it before it is long under way, fold his arms in oddly placid resignation,become more franticallypurposeful,and ultimatelyyield to what lookslikean implacableoutcome imposed from without, in which the protagonist is mysteriously mired and implicated. Zilcoskybegins where K's travelseffectivelybegan (on a motorbikeridinground Triesch in I907!),moving on to the Bohemian Forest (I908), Italy (i909), the Swiss tripof 1911,and Paris(I909; I9IO;1911).In chapterone he gives a fullaccount of the 'criticallyneglected' (p. 23)Kafka/Max Brod co-authoredRichard andSamuel: A Short JourneyThrough Central European Regions, begun in I9II, 'aborted [in 1912] after one chapterwas published'(p.15). The double equation 'to travel=to write=to travel'is underpinnedby some excellent ground-breakingresearchinto Kafka'sfondnessfor the 'second home' promisedby Hermann Schaffstein'sLittleGreen Books for children (TheSugarBaronand suchlike),several of which are later (pp. 105-IIO)juxtaposed with the much more adult concoction/confection, Octave Mirbeau's LeJardindes Supplices (Torture Garden). Amerika (Der Verschollene) follows, under the apt subtitle 'Learning How To Get Lost'. Karl Rossmann, 'non-progressive'and 'amnesiac'(p.4I), is here shadowedby familiarwriterssuch as Goethe, Flaubert,and Hermann Hesse (albeitin their less familiarguise as travelwriters)and anotherpopularhero, PeterPirath,in a novel of 1917by NorbertJacques, a copy of which Kafkaowned. The emphasisinitiallyis on how Kafka used 'paradigms [...] in order to re-inscribethem' (p. 43), but by no means at the expense of some very expert close reading (pp. 49-70). By the end of chapter two Karl has become 'his own Other, his own premature corpse' (p. 70), and Kafka no longer needs to leave home. such as this, and which, among some more pedestrian or too cryptic work, have been their best reward.
