NOTE DAVID WILEY (Minneapolis, U.S.A.) DIVINITY AND DENIAL IN FRANZ KAFKA'S " T H E M E T A M O R P H O S I S " A N D T H E COMPLETE FICTION OF BRUNO SCHULZ An enormous sunflower, lifted on a powerful stem and suffering from hypertrophy, clad in the yellow mourning of the last sorrowful days of its life, bent under the weight of its monstrous girth. But the naeve, s u b u r b a n bluebells a n d the unpretentious dimity flowers stood helpless in their s t a r c h e d pink and white shifts, indifferent to the sunflower's tragedy. - Bruno Schulz, "August."' The greatest tragedy of Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" and of The Complete Fiction of Bruno Schulz lies not in the horrific transformations they portray, but rather in their characters' pathetic oblivion to divinity. Both Kafka and Schulz create worlds with a vertiginous a c c e s s to mystery, if not to salvation, but the stories' secondary characters never s u s p e c t a thing. T h e y go t h r o u g h
