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 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
