Kafka and Auster

Hi everyone,
I am not sure weather this will be read by anyone, but in case so: I need your help or knowledge, to be more precise.
I am working on my thesis in which I compare certain aspects of Auster's writing with Kafka's writing. I have some material so far - probably more than enough - but I do not have the time to read all Auster Novels till my deadline has come. So...

Does anyone know a passage in one of Austers novels (excluding The Invention of Solitude, The New York Trilogy, Oracle Night, Brooklyn Follies and Travels in the Scriptoriumt) that alludes explicitly to Kafka's work (meaning Kafka's name or one of his texts is notibly mentioned)

I would be very thankful if there'd be someone out there,who can help...
