Tom Fudge : The German-Czech writer Franz Kafka is one that Kathi Diamant has taken a major interest in. Kathy is the author of the book Kafka's Last Love: The Mystery of Dora Diamant. Dora Diamant, who's name is spelled just like Kathi's, was Kafka's late-life companion who was in possession of his last writings. Kathi has sought to find those writings.

And earlier this year she set out on a tour of Europe in an ongoing effort to find them.
