Based on a supposedly new discovery of pornographic magazines, James Hawes aimed, in Excavating Kafka (2008), to reset the almost saintlike image of Kafka. This article will argue that these publications are fare from being hard-core pornography and their existence has been a long known fact. It will then discuss relations between literary texts and biography with reference to Kafka’s novel Der Process, written in 1914 and published only posthumous.

This article presents an analysis of Kleist's last novella, "Betrothal in Santo Domingo". Instead of concentrating our attention on the sentimental plot, our approach will focus on the first third of the text, which prepares the development of the passionate love between the European official Gustav and the mestice girl Toni. A few historical and biographical aspects referring to the time when Kleist wrote this novella will illuminate Kleist's artful use of irony and his subtle dramatization of highly complex feelings and thoughts. A critical presentation of the bibliography gives a synthetic picture of Kleist-studies in the past decades. ; Este artigo apresenta uma análise da última novela de Kleist, "O Noivado em Santo Domingo". Em vez de concentrar a atenção sobre o enredo passional, abordaremos a crise da forma narrativa suspensa entre crônica, novela e romance. Realçaremos os conflitos políticos e culturais que afloram desde o primeiro terço da narrativa, antes da eclosão da paixão entre o oficial europeu Gustav e a mestiça Toni. No centro da análise está o uso irônico dos dados históricos e biográficos da época em que Kleist escreveu esta obra (inspirado pelos acontecimentos políticos em Santo Domingo, na França e na Alemanha da primeira década do século 19). A perspectiva valoriza a arte e a maestria com que Kleist dramatiza sentimentos extremamente complexos que sugerem inúmeros pensamentos implícitos. Uma apresentação crítica da bibliografia das últimas décadas completa o ensaio.
