abstract
The Kerr-Schild pencil of metrics $g_{ab}+\La l_al_b$ is investigated in the generic case when it maps an arbitrary vacuum space-time with metric $g_{ab}$ to a vacuum space-time. The theorem is proved that this generic case, with the field $l$ shearing, does not contain the shear-free subclass as a smooth limit. It is shown that one of the K\'ota-Perj\'es metrics is a solution in the shearing class.

K-essence sources of Kerr-Schild spacetimes
K-essence Lagrangians that can source Kerr-Schild spacetimes must be at most quadratic in the kinetic term, and linear when the congruence is autoparallel or when linearized solutions are also exact.
