Thursday June 28, 2018 Prague Reading Group 19:45 - Prague Reading Group: The Metamorphosis is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed (metamorphosed) into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. The cause of Samsa's transformation is never revealed, and Kafka himself never gave an explanation. The rest of Kafka's novella deals with Gregor's attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his parents and sister, who are repulsed by the horrible, verminous creature Gregor has become.
Friday June 29, 2018 Book Reading 18:00 Book Reading: Book Reading by Author Rick Pryll Chimera of Prague. About the author Rick Pryll is an award-winning author and poet, best known for his
hyperfiction short story LIES. First published to the web in 1994, LIES has garnered praise from the Wall Street Journal, SHIFT magazine, and several other publications in print and online. It is cited in more than seven books, has been translated into Spanish and Chinese, and continues to be featured on the curriculae at several institutions of higher learning. Rick and his wife, painter Holly Spruck, live and work in Charlotte, North Carolina. They have two children and three cats. From 1996 to 2002 Rick lived in Prague, in the Czech Republic. While there he published two books including displaced (foolishness press, 1998) and WALLOW (foolishness press, 1999). His stories and poems have been featured on the pages of THINK and OPTIMISM. Rick attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and earned a degree in Mechanical Engineering by submitting a novella entitled Goliath as his thesis. In 1991, Rick won MIT s Robert A. Boit Prize for Best Short Story ( Pathbeater ). Rick was born in Dunkirk, New York on the shores of Lake Erie. From the age of 3 he grew up in Batavia, New York, attending and graduating from Pembroke Central High School in 1988. His latest book, The Chimera of Prague came out on November 17, 2017. About the book The Chimera of Prague Joseph is a twenty-something American living in Prague, the Czech Republic. He calls it a gap year ; for Joseph it s a gap between his
devastating divorce, and his uncertain future. Living in this magically romantic city, Joseph obsesses over a waitress. If it weren t for the parade of distracting women, he might have a shot with Karina, the tall slender Czech model-wanna-be. He keeps a journal, and finds himself digging through fragments of memory to try and discover where things went wrong in his first love. The story-within-the-story uses geology, and numerous other subjects, to frame, and perhaps explain, the emotional content. An ode to Western New York, peppered with a barrage of 80 s pop culture references, creating a tumultuous rendering of love lost. But the real love story here is between Joseph and his adopted city, Prague. The journey was never to find someone he could love, but rather to unearth a way to love himself again.
