Abstract
The anxiety that Franz Kafka felt about his identity as a man, a Jew, a member of the writer’s guild, a citizen of the twentieth century, is clear. How two major focuses of his anxiety – his inability to appreciate musical high culture and his vegetarian eating practices – were linked in his world is the topic of the present paper.
