Two Bits of Kafka's "Trial" for the Election
b'
An episode from 11/01/20: Tonight, I read two passages from Franz Kafka\'s The Trial: the fable known as "Before the Law," and the concluding scene, where Josef K. is executed. Kafka\'s ability to portray those who are powerless when faced with vast bureaucracy, or simply before the rituals of everyday interaction (which many also find impenetrable), is still so important to experience. The readings are taken from the recent translation of The Trial, by Breon Mitchell.
