Friend of Putney, Sarah Cramsey, led us on a personalized walking tour of Franz Kafka’s Prague. Sarah spent five years of her life in this city, and has most recently been finishing her PhD in History at Berkley. We started the tour at the location where Kafka met his lifetime friend — and eventual post-mortem executor — Max Brod. Sarah walked us through Old Town Square — where Kafka went to school, where his family lived, and where his father owned a shop. She showed us where Kafka lived with his sisters, wrote some of his most iconic stories, and started coughing up blood at the onset of his Tuberculosis. We read The Metamorphosis in a doorway of the Old Town, and a scene from The Trial in St. Nicolas Church. Finally, she took us to the New Jewish Cemetery, his final resting place. We stood in front of his grave and felt reverence.
