Are they dreams? Allegories? Symbols? Countless answers have been offered, but the essential mystery remains intact. Setting out on his own exploration, Roberto Calasso enters the flow, the tortuous movement, the physiology of Kafka's work to discover why K. and Josef K.-the protagonists of \u003ci\u003eThe Castle \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Trial\u003c\/i\u003e-are so radically different from any other character in the history of the novel, and to determine who, in the end, is K. The culmination of Calasso's lifelong fascination with Kafka's work, \u003ci\u003eK. \u003c\/i\u003eis also an unprecedented consideration of the mystery of Kafka himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400076123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.30w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/19\/2006 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Roberto Calasso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43705099944117,"sku":"9781400076123","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_55895869-e2d5-459c-bce0-c9ddde99621c.jpg?v=1709654536","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/k-9781400076123","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
