![]() Perhaps I just don’t get it.Īs I said in my review of The Metamorphosis, I respect what Kafka is doing and acknowledge that, but it just isn’t enjoyable for me.

It probably didn’t help that I was having to read it for uni in a short time frame, but even then… it was just so very boring. Just when I thought I was converting to Kafka, this book came along and stomped all over it. Scrupulously following the fluidity and breathlessness of the sparsely punctuated original manuscript, Mark Harman’s new translation reveals levels of comedy, energy, and visual power previously unknown to English language readers. Left unfinished by Kafka in 1922 and not published until 1926, two years after his death, The Castle is the haunting tale of K.’s relentless, unavailing struggle with an inscrutable authority in order to gain access to the Castle. ![]()
