i like kafka but in my humble opinion his writing is straight up plain. he says so much but it doesn’t sound interesting at all 
i find it also interesting how the author criticises the legal system through writing a trial that ends with death despite there being no explanation ever. However i felt like the ending was abrupt and like there was still so much one could say but also like there was nothing left anyway. 
read this in german and also preferred it that way. even though i think kafka writes really plain i think he just has something in german that he doesnt have in english or that gets lost while translating.
