About this title

Synopsis:

A fantasy novel, depicting human attempts to arrive closer to God, considered to be a symbolic classic

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
