It took me overnight, but after reading the Journeyman's account of his journey, it occurred to me that his choice of bookish accompaniment was certainly not coincidental. (Of course he can not help but smile and quickly forgive me since such astute observations only come a day late to the surd species. The important point is that they do come at some point!) After further research, i regret to inform him that Kafka was actually born in what is now present-day Prague. An honest mistake really, but the land metamorphosed into Czech Republic well after Kafka's birth, which was in Austria-Hungary (pun intended). So therefore, Dante, Kafka, and Hesse remain apt muses for his travels.
