Franz Kafka · 1925 · Surrealism
Josef K. is arrested one morning by men who cannot tell him what he has done wrong, brought before a court that never convenes formally, and advised by a lawyer who cannot help. Kafka's portrait of bureaucracy as metaphysical horror: the system is real, but its logic is entirely opaque. A novel that felt like satire in 1925 and increasingly reads like reportage.
