Review

"Kafka's prose is admirably exact and direct and his incidents range from the comic through romantic and tragic, with many shifting lights and shades of emotion."

"At the end of the book one is so unusually impressed by its solidity of conception and execution that although its inner meaning is still not entirely clear, one feels that with time and reflection one could come to an understanding of every portion of its rich and intricate symbolism."

"Meyer Schapiro, one morning on the subway to Columbia, had introduced me to 'The Castle', and I read it at home that night, without stopping for breath. Such is the effect of genius in a room."

Annotation

Published posthumously, Kafka's novel--a major modernist/symbolist work--is about a surveyor, known only as K., who struggles with an absurd, implacable bureaucracy in an attempt to penetrate a dimly defined "castle." The characters in Kafka's allegory inhabit a strange world, comic and dreamlike, that has come to be known as "Kafkaesque."
