Título: Why Kafka Is Not Kafkaesque
Autor: Paul Johnston
Sinopse: Kafka's stories are famous for their mysterious, somewhat sinister character, but what do they really mean? This short, readable book explores four of Kafka's best known works including Metamorphosis and the Trial. It argues that there is much more to Kafka than the ideas expressed in the word "Kafkaesque". It is certainly reassuring to see ourselves as the victims of a crazy world, but our situation is more complicated than that. Joseph K's trial has its nightmare aspects, but it is also a chance to escape the selfish and empty life he has built for himself. Unfortunately he is too busy complaining about how he is being treated to make anything much of this opportunity.
