Review:
Of all Kafka s fiction this is the most personal. K. is not of course a mouthpiece for Kafka he lacks Kafka s grave intelligence and humor but his inner conflict between a taste for ordinary life and the demands imposed by his quest were in good part shared by Kafka . . . The Castle projects a greater strength of will than we have encountered in Kafka s earlier writings an effort to overcome the muteness of existence. from the Introduction by Irving Howe

From the Hardcover edition."

From the Publisher:
'He is the greatest German writer of our time. Such poets as Rilke or such novelists as Thomas Mann are dwarfs or plaster saints in comparison to him' Vladimir Nabokov
