The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
William BlakeJason WhittakerWhen Aldous Huxley took mescalin, I love that one of his first reactions was: “This must have been how William Blake saw the world.” Such a damn shame he missed so much of the humour of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

Walter SavitchJason WhittakerDear @Telegraph, you’re missing the point.

The Trial: A New Translation Based on the Restored Text
Franz KafkaJason Whittaker@Gmankow I dunno. I love that scene in The Trial II* when Josef K leans across the courtroom to smack the clerk around the head with a giant Trdelnik, the veins throbbing in his temples. *This sequel may not have been written by Franz Kafka.
