NN: Fundamental loneliness, the narrator J_ L_ tells Kafka, is one of the truths she best shares with the deceased author. That doesn’t seem like a bad place to start imagining a good companion. She does not believe living as he did would work for her but she admires that he tried. So what kind of person would suit? She does not think like Kafka, but she likes how he thinks. Occasionally it occurs to her that she should make some greater effort with other humans. She has enjoyed and found solace in cats, dogs and horses. She’s tried-over various stories-to be fine with her own company, with family and friends, and friends of the family (outcomes unsatisfactory). J is a character who has long been looking for someone she feels comfortable with. Still want to know how we got to the letters from J_ L_? I’ve done one-off missives to Kafka before (in which an adolescent girl emails him to ask for help with her homework) to Dorothy Parker (in which a wife writes an agony aunt letter to Ms Parker about uncomfortable, bargain-priced beds) and most recently to the bracing poet Eric Roach as part of a Caribbean Literary Heritage project (in which I break off our engagement because of prevailing weather conditions and extinct animals). Is this your first standalone epistolary project? How did it come into being?ĪL: This is the longest one so far. NN: The chapbook is a perfect vehicle for a series of (one-sided) letters. And yet the work is sharp, dangerous, immaculate. Not only his fiction, but his letters and journals are so extensive it’s hard to understand how more people do not find themselves feeling this loss. I miss him as if there’d been a time when we were together. I already know he will not contradict me or shame me in any way. It is very easy to love and admire a dead man. I, on the other hand, definitely have something rather like love for him. Right now she’s really just looking for someone to talk to. Tell us how you feel about Kafka, yourself.Īnu Lakhan: Does she love him? I think there’s a way to go before she feels love-real love-such as one might feel for a mother or a pet. Novel Niche: Letters to K lets us in on a writer’s deep love for Franz Kafka. I might know less for certain at the end of this interview than at its beginning: rarely is a fate so entrancing as when Lakhan’s pen is in the inkwell. Here, I sit with Lakhan over metaphysical tea, and let her tell me all about the elusive J_L_, our protagonist writing missives to Kafka. First published by Argotiers Press in 2018, Letters to K is hilarious and heartbreaking, audacious and abashed, like no other letter-set to a dead writer you’ve ever read before.
