A collection of sixteen short stories. The main point of Kafka's writing style is to set an atmosphere close to oneirism, where you get a feeling of a plot more than an actual plot.
It's hard to understand what is the purpose of most of the stories tho and I think they all end up abruptly. Still, a lot of the stories touch on the subject of alienation and otherness with a relatable and rightly done approach.
My fave story was the one with the monkey that had to pretend to be a human so that he could be treated as an equal.
