Abstract: Following Gérard Genette's explorations of "transtextuality", the article addresses the afterlife of Franz Kafka's Report to an Academy in examples offered by John Maxwell Coetzee and Oliver Frljic. These construct a palimpsest for considering the dynamic relation between "text and performance", as broaching questions of ethics in narrative practices that cannot be limited to those of narratology. The article attempts to maintain a sense of itself offering an example of its own understanding, echoing a sense of the "propositional" to be found in Alfred North Whitehead.
