Synopsis
Kafka's Dick

It begins with Kafka, near the end of his life, making his famous request to his friend Max Brod that his works be burned at his death
We then flash forward to the present, where Kafka fanatic Sydney, an insurance salesman, is laboring away at an article on Kafka for Small Print The Journal of Insurance Studies
Who should miraculously appear but Kafka himself, followed closely by Brod and finally by Kafka's father, who wants to vindicate himself to posterity
