The Trial by Frank Kafka

The Trial by Franz Kafka
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

(1925)

I'm having a difficult time with this book. Aside from it being written back in 1925 in German, the author never finished it at that time. Essentially, it is about a man who wakes up to find he is arrested for a crime that is never specified. It almost feels like a dog chasing its tail...I wonder how this trial will proceed with the rantings from this narcissistic protagonist. It is rather amusing how he defends himself against a crime to which he has no knowledge of committing!

Having done some research it seems that this book was finished by someone else hence the lack of continuity or direction in this book.
