"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? ...we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us."
-Kafka
I think Mr. Black and Thomas Sr. have been collapsed into one character. I wonder if the Grandmother will even be a part of the film. Was that supposed to be her lying on the floor with Oskar?
