(Kafka, Franz. A Hunger Artist, 1922, Die Neue Rundschau)




This story is about a artist who starves himself for a public display. He spends most of his time in a cage with a timer clock that show how long he had gone without food. Plenty of people gather and pay to see him as if he was some sort of entertainment. He finally dies and a panther takes his place in the cage. Some themes are society influence, death, hunger, prosperity, and fitting in.
