Interesting! I just assumed he spent all his time as an author. This fits with my theory that many lawyers are secretly (or not so secretly) also writers.😆

I saw some of his drawings in one of your other posts—I will have to check out his others!

Ha! Lawyers do play it close to their chest, don't they?... But yeah, check out that Kilcher book!

Oh and you might also like this: he was a sort of cartoonist as well in his spare time, so you two have a lot in common… He never got to be a mother though.

Oh yeah! He was a Juris Doctor (not sure if that’s the right term in English) and made a career as a lawyer at an insurance company.

Love the drawings. Fascinating! It’s a glimpse of Kafka’s mind from another angle. But I see straight away parallels with his writing.

Yes! It's like a visual equivalent of his prose: direct, weird, fragmentary... I really recommend Andreas Kilcher's book. Fascinating, and it's a beautiful, coffee-table worthy, sort of book.
