More Kafkaesque Doodles
The Kindle version doesn't have as many. I found this "inspiration" (see below) in the intro to my hardcopy version of the diaries. Some of the text that would go a few steps toward explaining the doodle runs: There are some people who can do this, probably, Japanese jugglers, for example, who scramble up a ladder that does not rest on the ground but on the raised soles of someone half lying on the ground, and which does not lean against a wall but just goes up into the air. I cannot do this -- aside from the fact that my ladder does not even have those soles at its disposal.
