Dostoyevsky's house
i read once that Dostoyevky ensured that wherever he lived; he could see from his window both a tavern and a church. so as to always be aware of the eternal choices facing 'man'-namely the spiritual and the earthly. from my window i can only see a graveyard... oh with a hospital behind it.

Kafka lived in a house built together (joint) with a church and his bedroom window faced straight in to the church. I.e if you were standing inside of the church and looked on the wall, you could see a little window with maybe Kafkas face in it!
It's better than the front of the house with all the screaming scallies.
Samuel Beckett's house looked onto a graveyard and a mad-house
