News today that some literary scholars are aploplectic with indignation about a new biography of Franz Kafka which lays emphasis on his collection of pornography.  I really don't see why this means we should admire The Trial and his other fiction any the less.

One item in Kafka's porn collection did interest me, though.  It is a drawing of a hedgehog-like creature performing fellatio.  (At the time of writing Uncle Google is yet to supply an accompanying image)

Now, loyal Westonistas will remember that a few weeks ago I commented that although hedgehogs can't tango, they may well be able to perform other forms of dance.

Well, there you go then.  And while I don't particularly fancy even a very sexy hedgehog going down on me, it should be remembered that I (and indeed the pornographer Kafka) frequently talk in metaphors.  And, anyhow in my case, I feel the genders of the participants could easily be reversed.

Frankly, I am still nervous enough about this whole experiment to start with a walz.
