"The Trial tells the terrifying tale of Joseph K., a respectable functionary in a bank who is suddenly arrested and must defend his innocence against a charge about which he can get no information. Whether read as an existential take, a parable, or a prophecy, this hauntingly believable story stands out as one of the great novels of our times. Kafka's unsurpassed nightmare vision rings with chilling truth as it foreshadows the excesses of modern bureaucracy wedded to the mad agendas of twentieth-century totalitarian regimes.

Also known as Der Verschollene or The Man Who Disappeared, it was originally issued in 1927 by Kurt Wolff Verlag, Munich. It is thought to have been inspired by the apocryphal story of one of Kafka's cousins who at the tender age of sixteen was shipped off to America, after impregnating the family maid. In Kafka's version of events, seventeen-year-old Karl Rossman leads a peripatetic life in the land of opportunity amid extremes of wealth and poverty with his innocence inviting constant exploitation. Though the author never visited the country, his picaresque tale does capture the very 'idea' of America in its uncanny depiction of an ever-changing landscape of oversized constructs, peopled by inhabitants in thrall to speed and technology. The uncompleted manuscript comes full circle with the classic Kafka trope of the scorned individual pleading his innocence in front of remote and mysterious figures of authority. [Mellown D32] 545.
