Review

Vibrant . . . preserves the comedy as well as the tragedy of Kafka's text.

Distinguishes itself from previous translations in its first sentence.

This is the transforming text for you.--Richard Howard

Save your money. It’s not a book, just a few pages brochure. The words are all pushing together and hard to see. What about just go online and read the free version? It’s much better than this cheap made thing!

Look closely and let it all sink in

This story has a lot to offer! It isn't very long, but there's a lot to digest. Kafka uses symbolism so well and the plot provides an unsettling insight into society and humanity. There is a sense of despair throughout the story which really does a lot to sell the mood and circumstances of the protagonist. I highly recommend this!

I've had to write extensively about this story and the accompanying essays and it has helped me shape my understanding and opinion. The essays included after the story are thought provoking although I disagree with some interpretations of the story.

Incredibly sad story about loneliness and maybe even illness

Reviewed in the United States on 8 September 2017

Incredibly sad story about loneliness and maybe even illness. Wasn't crazy about the ending, but I was definitely interested from the first sentence.

I'm adding to this review because I've since re-read it several times and have actually fallen in love with the story. I no longer mind the ending and found that it's a story I couldn't get out of my head.
