[edit] Part of The Great Wall of China

Is this story not just a part of the Great Wall of China, another of Kafka's short stories? Sancho 22:30, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Well,yes but maybe it was delivered somewhere as a stand-alone story and as such would deserve an independant mention.(Its the best part of "The Great Wall of China" as far as I can tell)New Babylon 2 17:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
I really like it too, maybe my favorite of all of Kafka's writings. It was delivered as a stand-alone story in a sort of introduction section of "The Complete Stories" of Kafka published by Schocken, but I'm not sure if that was the publisher's doing? Or if Kafka actually separated that section himself ever. Sancho 18:36, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
The plot summary sounds suspiciously like the actual thing. Should the title "Plot Summary" be changed to something more along the lines of "The Story"?Clockwrist (talk) 23:29, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
