I have only read Kafkas The Process and his shorter works in school and fell in love with his writings. Never before I have felt storys that represent my ideas of films and dreams i such an absurd way. We have to read Kafka in order to understand Kafka whose only separation to us is his birth and death hundred years ago. His work resembles us and our loneliness. 
Amerika is the perfect depiction of a naive character (we are naive) who is confronted with a new world (our birth = his arrival in America).
