  Life After Kafka

  A novel of Felice Bauer, Franz Kafka's first fiancée, and the story behind Letters to Felice 
   
   
   
  Franz Kafka scholars know Felice Bauer, his onetime fiancée, through his Letters to Felice, as little more than a woman with a raucous laugh and a taste for bourgeois comforts. Life After Kafka is her story. The novel begins in 1935 as Felice flees with her children from Hitler's Berlin, following her family and members of Kafka's entourage—including Grete Bloch, Max Brod, and Salman Schocken—as they try to escape the horrors of the Holocaust. Years later, a man claiming to be Kafka's son approaches Felice's son in Manhattan and the drama surrounding Kafka's letters to Felice begins. 
   
   
   
  While taking the measure of literary fame's long shadow, Life After Kafka depicts the magic and poison of memories, and what we cling to when all else is lost. Most of all, it illuminates the bravery required to move forward through the shattered remains of one world to rebuild life in a new one.

  Journey Far A: Ibere - Beginnings

  Imagine living in a world where every facet of your existence is beyond your control. 
  Imagine living in a world where your God-given physical traits are resented and reviled. 
  Imagine living in a world where your humanity is subject to judicial and legal debate. 
  Imagine living in a world where the government of the people, by the people, and for the people is explicit and implicit in denying you the most basic of human rights - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 
  For James Scott, this isn’t imagination, but a horrifically callous reality. Despite the odds stacked against him, despite the laws that hindered his future, despite the obstacles that challenged his resolve, this African American not only survived, but thrived during his journey through 19th century America. 
  A Journey Far: Ibere (Beginnings) starts with James being sold into bondage before his 6th birthday in the 1840s antebellum South and ends in 1860s New York City as the Confederate attack on Ft. Sumter, South Carolina precipitates the U. S. Civil War. 
  In this work of Historical Fiction - an epic along the lines of Alex Haley’s, Roots - James reacts to and interacts with historical people and events, a dramatic analogy to the movie, Forest Gump. James’ journey takes him far from his brutal beginnings, through a life of malicious prejudice, and toward a future rife with hopes of freedom, promises of equality, and revelations of self.

  "Sports is like war without the killing." "Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together. "Ted Turner and President Woodrow Wilson have enlightened us with their innermost thoughts regarding sports and friendship. 
  Framily (friends considered family), in similar fashion to the first two books of the trilogy, "8" Center Field in New York, 1951-1957 and Dopey Bastid coalesces sports and friendship in a unique way. 
  Three friends since childhood, now adults and all reconnected with their teenage girlfriends and starting families; share the spotlight as the recollection of notable sporting events come to life. Relive accounts of the NCAA tournament with Magic and Bird, the USA Olympic hockey team miracle in 1980, the Mets World Series victory over the Red Sox in 1986, the Giants Super Bowl XXI triumph, and many others as you laugh out loud, perhaps shed a tear and reflect on the true meaning of friendship. 
  The Kirkus Review of Framily was highly complementary of the author... "Saulino has developed a smart way of storytelling via weaving his characters plotlines together with contemporary sports events... it's an eye-catching and inventive strategy... this novel will appeal to anyone who enjoys a good story about good friends."
