This collection has almost all the Kafka you could want as well as some you might not want very much. There's so many haunting and bizarre stories contained within that I had never read before and they became some of my favorite pieces of short fiction. The only drawback is the handful of stories that are kind of a slog to get through - although most of these are ones published after Kafka's death and/or unfinished.
