The actual novel was never completed by Franz Kafka. He instructed his friend Max Brod to burn the manuscript upon his death.
Impressions?
Although it is unfinished, the novel is still powerful. Maybe that is part of the reason why it has made such an impact. The fact that we would forever wonder what it could have been otherwise
Most Memorable lines?
“It’s sometimes quite astonishing that a single, average life is enough to encompass so much that it’s at all possible ever to have any success in one’s work here. On the other hand, there are also dark moments, such as everyone has, when you think you’ve achieved nothing at all, when it seems that only the trials to come to a good end are those that were determined to have a good end from the start and would do so without any help, and all the others are lost despite all the running to and fro, all the effort…”
