The Complete Novels of Kafka - Franz Kafka
In America Karl Rossmann is 'packed off to American by his parents' to experience Oedipal and cultural isolation. Kafka, a Czech writing in German, never acutally visited America; so, as Max Brod commented, 'the innocence of his fantasy gives this book if advanture its peculiar colour.' Both Joseph K in The Trial and K in The Castle are victims of anonymous governing forces beyond their control. Here, ordinary immigrants are also strange, and 'America' is never quite as real as it should be.
Whereas Joseph K is relentlessly hunted down for a crime that remains nameless, K ceaselessly attempts to enter the castle and so belong somewhere. Both are atomised, estranged and rootless citizens decieved by authoritarian power. Together these novels may be read as powerful allegories of totalitarian government in whatever guise it appears today.
