A review by lamnatos
The Trial by Franz Kafka

5.0

It was bitterly fascinating to watch K. letting himself being pulled down by the amorphous monster of bureaucratic absurdity. Every step he took was leading himself through the many different-but-same faces of the incomprehensible non-logic of the world around him. At no point was he able to realize and accept the futility of his own self.

It seemed slightly verbalistic at some points, but only to further the sense of absurdity and paranoia. K. needed to clarify and and confirm the illogical fragments of advice given by those around him, from the lowliest servants to the cathedral priests.
