Summary

Kafka's stories-bleak, painfully comic, enigmatic-are invariably about man's alienation from daily life, but he creates a rich variety of worlds, from the absurdity of the hunger artist in his cage, to Gregor Samsa's vividly imagined transformation into a cockroach, to the profoundly ironic view of capital punishment in "In the Penal Colony."
