520 1 $a"What are Kafka's stories about? Are they dreams? Allegories? Symbols? Things that happen every day? But where and when? Countless answers have been offered, but the question still arouses feelings of acute uncertainty. Many solutions have been proposed, but the essential mystery remains intact. In this book, Robert Calasso sets out not to dispel the mystery but to let it be illuminated by its own light. To that end, with his unique vision, imagination, and intellectual acumen, Calasso attempts to enter the flow, the tortuous movement, the physiology of the stories to discover what they are meant to signify and to delve into a puzzling question : why are K. and Josef K. - the protagonists of The Castle and The Trial - so radically different from any other characters in the history of the novel? So, in the end, the most basic question along the way is: Who is K.?"--BOOK JACKET.
