If you're feeling pensive, let Kafka show you a more tragic side of life and relationships.

Took me a lot longer to get through this 60 page novella than anticipated, but maybe because I couldn't shake the unbearable sadness I felt reading this from the outset. I probably didn't get all the themes, but I got enough to find this very timely to today- 100 years on from its first publication.
