This edition contained Metamorphosis, as well as In the Penal Colony and The Judgement: A Story for F. I think all were brilliant and the famous dissatisfaction of conventional society comes across strongly in all. Metamorphosis was a lot sadder than I anticipated; the actions of his family contrasted with Gregor‘s innocent inner monologue conjures feelings of injustice and unfairness. (Cont in comments 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻)

i.z.booknook (1) It also has one of the best opening lines of a story, ever, which also perfectly sums up the plot: a traveling salesman who suddenly turns into a cockroach. In the Penal Colony I found extremely interesting and very dark and gory. A traveller is given a tour and demonstration of an out-dated and controversial but historically significant mode of execution. 1mo
i.z.booknook (2) A shockingly inventive and gruesome contraption Kafka came up with, it reminded me a little of The Trial, as the condemned doesn‘t know why they are condemned. Once again, powerful feelings of injustice and corruption seep from the pages. The Judgement I was a little ambivalent about but it was very quick and still rather thoughtful. Another interesting familial relationship. 1mo

Blew through this wild ride with Karl Rossman in America - a lighter novel by Kafka. But I have to say - Kafka simply decided to not finish writing this book AND left it at a major cliffhanger. Why???? Ahhh the anxiety is going to kill me. But fantastic writing in the first 7 chapters. If you‘re ok with being ghosted by Kafka, this is a fun one.

I‘ve been struggling to find good fiction that satisfies my current mood lately, picked up Kafka‘s America yesterday. Here‘s hoping it pulls me out of this fiction slump! (PS I really enjoy Kafka‘s writing)

The Trial | Franz Kafka

• 2nd read

Josef K. is unexpectedly arrested on the morning of his 30th birthday. The agents who arrest him are unidentified, the agency they work for is unspecified, and the nature of his crime is never revealed to him. When he is released, he is told to await further instruction. So begins the manic and emotionless trial of a man beholden to the whims of an unknown force, and his painstaking attempts to find a way out of this existential maze.

When you're actually excited to see a book adaptation 🤭

Ruthiella I had to read that in high school and kinda hated it. I should see how I feel now as an old lady! 😂 11mo
Jari-chan @Ruthiella Kafka sure isn't an easy read, and I get that as a student one might won't enjoy it ar all 🙈 Maybe when you read it at your terms, you might like it? 11mo
