Kafka’s unfinished novel, better known not by the author’s own title, but as “America,” given to it by the publishers. Kafka—who never visited the United States—was nevertheless able to sense the absurdity of the frantic American rhythm of life and convey it fully through the strange, surreal adventures of a young immigrant from Europe, obediently submitting to circumstances. Circumstances that put him in the most incredible situations and lead him to the most unusual characters.
