Wonderfully absurd, unfinished and still better than Nabokov's Bend Sinister, which is similarly dark and absurd with very similar themes. I can't give 5 stars because it's incomplete, there are plot holes due to unfinished chapters, and it's basically reading a draft. I really do wish we could have seen how Kafka would have pulled it all together in a final draft, because what is there is solid.

My first Kafka book that makes me question the definition of justice and the position of men in a society.

Sooooooo Kafkaesque.

This book is about a guy who is suffering in the absurdity of bureaucracy but is also really horny
