Karl Rossman has been banished by his parents to America, following a family scandal. There, with unquenchable optimism, he throws himself into the strange experiences that lie before him as he slowly makes his way into the interior of the great continent. Although Kafka's first novel (begun in 1911 and never finished), can be read as a menacing allegory of modern life, it is also infused with a quite un-Kafkaesque blitheness and sunniness, brought to life in this lyrical translation that returns to the original manuscript of the book.… (mere)

All of the malice and absurdity, the Stockholm syndrome, the political disinterest, and the velocity of immigrant life without the Kafkaesque beurocracy. ( )

Stiff but oddly flowing. A satire of an immigrant's journey in pre-WWI America the most interesting part of the book was the atmosphere and people in 1910 NYC. A vibrant hub of American life Rossman's adventures would have been more interesting if he continued across country through Oklahoma and into California. And I think Kafka never visited the US so he pulled this out of the era's gestalt. ( )

Tan bueno como El Proceso. ( )

The collapse of an earnest youth surrounded by a cast of despicable characters. ( )

I read an audio book narrated by George Guidall. He does a very good job of narrated the story. Franz Kafka's last book and this translated is truer to the original condition. Kafka had left instructions to burn all his work. Thank goodness that wasn't done. This is the story of an immigrant that comes to the United States. It is like short little adventures here and there and nothing really goes well in the end. Probably the most reality based book Kafka wrote it was never finished but he thought of it as his American novel. Kafka never visited America. This book starts with a picture of the statue of liberty with a punishing sword and Karl our protagonist is being punished by being sent to America. As an immigrant his own desires are completely disregarded in this book. Everyone poor Karl meets take advantage of him and use him even though Karl is a nice guy and more than willing to help out his acquaintances. There is a sex scene in this book where Karl is basically raped by one of the servants. It is the reason he has been sent to Amerika. It is well done, if only author's could take a hint if they think sex scenes need to be a part of their books. The poor Karl does seem to finally find a home in Oklahama but who knows if it would have lasted if Kafka had finished the book. ( )
