Franz Kafka The Dream (Ein Traum)
This short story has been published in multiple collection since Kafka’s death. It tells of a dream had by the protagonist of his novel, The Trial, Joseph K.
“As a result, K. likewise felt embarrassed; they exchanged helpless glances; there was some kind of misunderstanding between them, which neither of them could clear up….K. was inconsolable about the artist's dilemma, he began to cry.”
I have never read The Trial, but this small passage was beautiful. As I understood it, the artist is there to write K’s death, but when he acknowledges him, K is not just a name anymore. There is now meaning. I’m wondering if the misunderstanding wasn’t just the artist writing K’s name not knowing that it was K behind him at first. I think the misunderstanding was that this artist was supposed to do his job “in purest gold” and K was not supposed to know, but it did not happen that way. Instead, they understood each other so much that they get embarrassed and K even cried over the artists dilemma, knowing that the artist was only trying to do his job, but now could barely move because he had acknowledged K. K even accepted his fate and jumped into the hole himself. I could be way off in what Kafka was intending, but it was such a great reading! Great artwork too! 😎
Hi Sam! Could you do me a big favor? Please find out what Sharon's favorite semi precious stone is...Christmas is just around the corner. Thanks. You really are a good egg.😀😈😀
@@stevencorey1278 Sharon’s favorite semi precious stone costs $50,000.
@@GreenerSideOfSam good lord, $50,000?!?! Where am I gonna come up with that kinda scratch?!?! Why can't she like garnet or obsidian instead? Those are cheap.😖😖😖
I really can't add to this comment--I would tend to agree with this interpretation, completely! 😎😊
You have elevated youtube video making to a proper art. In this case, we get an artwork inspiring an artwork within an artwork. Really beautiful drawing, btw.
That is great, I didn't think about it that way! 😅 Thank you, as always! 😎
Pae, (*Annie WIlkes voice*) I'm your biggest fan. Seriously, your talent never ceases to amaze me. And I love your reading voice.
Hahah, thank you so much AJ! 😊💙 And that is nice to hear, as I had to edit this on mute because personally, I can't stand hearing myself speak 😂
@@attention5638 No, you have a great voice.
Pae, this is so amazing. Love the art and reading pairing. WOW!!!! WOW!!!!! WOW!!!!!
Oh! Thank you so much! I am glad you like it! 😊
I always enjoy when you do readings :) This was very nicely done. Beautiful art too. Thank you!
This video, especially with the sketching, is the perfect mood for this Friday. I'm always fascinated hearing about Kafka, especially your reviews.
Thank you so much, my friend! There will most certainly be much more Kafka to come, haha😊
Dude! This is awesome, thank you so much for sharing with us!
Oh! For sure! Thank you for checking it out! 😊
Nicely done, both the reading and the artwork.
Thank you very much! Always good to see ya here! 😊
Well, this was just a perfect video for winding down. Brilliant drawing and shading, Pae. I love to watch art videos, so I look forward to more like this!
Thank you so much! I do hope to work on more very soon 😊
This was a visual and aural treat.
Thank you so much for checking it out! ☺
This is exactly the spark of macabre brilliance I needed today. Excellent choice of story, wonderful presentation - I adore your art and narration. Please do keep uploading this style of video :)
Thank you so much, Holly! I am glad you found something useful in this. 😊 I will definitely be doing more of these in the future!
That was great. It's so interesting to watch you drawing. I have no drawing or painting ability except for what I do with my make-up and I was interested to see some techniques are the same. It was also great to hear the Kafka story. I would love to see more of these!
I wish I could say I know what I am doing with sketching/painting, I just hope it turns out alright. But then again, I can say that about most everything I do in life. 😂 Thank you so much for checking this out! 😎
Amazing art! And such a poetic voice!
Thank you, Jeremy! I sure hope my voice is not as terrible as I think it it, haha😅
Great art and a great short story to go with it. Loved it. 💜
Thank you so much!😊😎I am glad you liked it!
What a great format. And your talent is amazing.
Thank you so much! I am glad you liked this--I will for sure be doing more of it, as I continue to learn how to do these things! 😊😎
This was cool! I've never read any Kafka but I got a kindle copy of the metamorphosis which I want to get too next year
Oh yes! The Metamorphosis is one of may favorite works of fiction! I would be very interested in what you think of it! 😊
What an absolute treat!!! I loved everything about this and seeing your art was so special!! Very excited to see more content like this! Bravo! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much, Jane! I will definitely be putting out more like this. It is far more relaxing 😅
I believe social media should exist solely for people like you, bursting with talent.
Hahaha, thank you so much! I do agree--maybe if that were the case, social media wouldn't be such a curse as it seems to be. 😅
They’re back!!!
I would like to learn to draw but I’m too lazy.
They have all come back, and even brought more along with them! 🤣😂
Another great piece. I have yet to read a single thing from Kafka. I am fairly sure I have a collected works edition. Looking forward to that even more so now~
I think you would really like him, though he is not for everyone, I admit. But I would be interested in hearing your thoughts! 😊
@@attention5638 next year I’ll be getting to him, for sure. A purchase is a commitment to me. I’m pretty sure I’ll like him though. Did not know his novels were unfinished!
You're an amazing artist! I loved this reading and art session!
Thank you so much! It was fun to put together 😊
Loved this video! You are so talented!
Thank you.
Thank you so much for checking it out! I am glad you liked it!😊😎
this was so soothing to listen to, but also so awesome to watch. i've only read one thing by Kafka (the metamorphosis) and that had to have been at least 10 years ago! very lovely.
Oh! Thank you so much! I will definitely be covering the Metamorphosis in the future😊
pae, you are a man of many talents! ⭐ the artwork is absolutely incredible. the drawing process, in time with your fantastic reading, is almost therapeutic. definitely yes to more content like this! 👏 i am in awe. 🤩
Thank you so much! It was a last minute effort, but it turned out alright. I will for sure take more time with the future videos like this. I am glad you liked it. 😊😊😎
Yeah, I think I'd only be interested in about one of these every day.
😁
Hahaha, I will be sure not to exceed that!😅 Thank you, Brian!😊
Very nice
Thank you! 😊
Is there anything that you can't do? that is stunning!!
There are many, many thing--I just stay away from those things haha😅
This was great! You are very talented and I loved seeing this whole process
Thank you so much! I am glad you liked it 😊😊
Damn, that’s so cool! It would be awesome for you to do one with your own writing! 😜
Those will probably happen soon enough😎
This was lovely! I recently read The Metamorphosis as my first entry into Kafka and thought of you. It was such an interesting read! Something I wish I had read in a class because I feel like there was so much societal context that would have deepened my reading experience.
Oh! That is really great to hear! The Metamorphosis is one of my favorite fiction pieces ever written, and I do hope to cover it in some detail in the future. 😊😎
This was absolutely beautiful, you're an incredible artist! The shading was so satisfying to watch. Personally I would love to hear readings of your own works as well 😊
Thank you so much for checking this out! I have been planning on making a few more like this, hopefully soon! 😊
A great recitation! My previous experience with Kafka didn't go to well, so I wanted to listen carefully and give him another chance with this. I love the idea of seeing a tombstone with your own name on it, that would be quite horrifying!
I agree, that would be somewhat disturbing. Though Kafka is my favorite fiction author, I can completely understand why he doesn't click with everyone. I remember your comments on The Metamorphosis, and I can't argue haha they were pretty legitimate 😅
Wow! You're so talented! The finished drawing is so cool! Love the added color 😍 awesome video!
Thank you so much! The added color was a quick decision because I didn't like the finished sketch haha I tried to distract 🤣
@@attention5638 It looks so cool!
Omg... is there anything you can't do??!! You have so many talents it's annoying 😁 I can't wait to see what other talents you have hidden in there!
Hahaha, oh, I seem to only be average at most of these things I do, which is why I can give the false front of talent haha😅 Thank you so much for checking this out 😊😊
Great piece of art. Dude needs longer Hair. LoL. 🤣
Also Great Reading.👍😁👍
Hahaha, I am still growing it out! But, it may be cut soon here, it is getting a bit long haha🤣
@@attention5638 👍😁👍
What an evocative face....
I do agree! 😊
sweet
😎
Amazing. Cover your works! I only just found one of yours on Amazon and it’s sold out. Will have to look elsewhere!!
Oh! I will have to send you a copy one of these days if you are interested in it! 😎
@@attention5638 I am determined to source one. A writer should be paid. Of course after than comes the review…
I'd like to fight AJ Dunn for the honor of your biggest fan. This was brilliant of course. You know what I would love. To commission you to do a drawing similar of my boy Stephen Dedalus so I can hang it in my office. Its all perfect, man!
Oh! I would definitely do that! And that is such a great idea, too! I could probably do something really interesting with that--i will have to look up if there has been portraits done of Dedalus. I was also going to send you a copy of my book. I rarely get notifications on replies on YT, so I apologize if I missed it, or if I missed it in an email, as I seem to often do that, as well😅
@@attention5638 No worries at all, and no pressure, but if you did I would pay! I'll message my address for your book now!
@@BrandonsBookshelf Perfect! Thank you!
Do your video-related drawings have a destiny?
Of the Russian authors to whom I've thus far been exposed, I might personally relate to Kafka the strongest. Pasternak and Chekhov both seem to be wonderful authors for other readers. No Dostoevsky yet, but a lotta folks I respect have strong opinions about him.
I definitely relate to Kafka more than any other author, for the most part, even if I am not completely sure what that means for me haha. And though he was German, he was so hugely inspired by Russian literature, as so much of his subject matter can be found in the likes of Dostoevsky. As far as the destiny of these sketches/paintings, they will more than likely end up somewhere misplaced in the future haha. I actually thought of doing this when reading your novel! 😅 I wanted to do a reading from your work and paint/sketch something and send it to you! If you would be okay with such a thing. 😎
I would be privileged, Sir ❣️
My mistake. I totally mis-nationalized Kafka without looking anything up. Thank you for making me smarter in a painless way.
Impressive artwork, Pae! I was a bit confused by the ending of the story - did he dream that he fell into an open grave or that he sunk down into the ground sort of like quicksand?
I was thinking this too, and it may be something that was lost in translation, but I think he falls into the grave, and the wording is simply confusing as it may not be the best translation.
"We seem to be one horse shy." Jack Elam-Shaky. "No. You brought two too many." Charles Bronson- Harmonica. ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST....Kafka sneaks up on the uninitiated reader.😀
And Frank? "Thousands of thousands" .... "they call those millions." 🤣
@@attention5638 "Your friends have a high mortality rate, Frank."😀
Nice! Will your next analysis be this story? Also, please make sure to mess up on pronouncing “posthumously” at least two or three times so we know you’re human.
I will be covering all of The Trial eventually, but that will be a big series haha. HAHAHA If I put out a blooper video on all the times I stuttered through that word, it too would be a very long series. 😅
