Okay, this is wrong on so many levels...

"Prague today is a far cry from the Prague of Franz Kafka, who died in 1924 of tuberculosis. In Kafka’s day, Prague was a city of shadows and threats, especially in its Jewish ghetto. Today it is a tourist Mecca where you can take a Kafka tour, buy a Kafka T-shirt, eat at the Kafkateria, or have your hair done at the Metamorphosis Beauty Salon. Both Pragues can now be seen as furiously cross-hatched ink drawings in the book “Kafka,” written by dramatist David Zane Mairowitz and brilliantly illustrated by comics artist Robert Crumb, best known as the pioneer of underground comics and inventor of such products of American bad acid as Snoid, Flakey Foont, Eggs Ackly, Fritz the Cat and Mister Natural."
