The Trial by Franz Kafka
b'
Written around 1914 and posthumously published in 1925, The Trial is a strange and absurd tale of a young man who arrested for a crime nobody ever learns what it is about - not even the reader! We discuss the dream-like nature of the novel, how frustrating the story gets and why we kind of understand how it has become a classic. This episode also includes a great bookish podcast recommendation that we are sure you will enjoy!
