Episode notes

Frenz koka's the triala was written in 19 15, a year after his death. The castle is actually pretty well fleshed out, just sort of stops. But i think that that one was more unfinished than the other ones. This one has, the trial has an ending, a ded, you presume to be the ending that franz cacke intended.

David and Tamler wander through the bewildering dream-like world of Franz Kafka’s "The Trial." In part one of a two-part discussion we discuss the circumstances of its publication, the various interpretative approaches that can be taken to the novel, and all the ways that Kafka’s prose gets under your skin, making you feel what’s happening even if you don’t fully understand it. Recorded in the decidedly un-Kafka-esque location of Nosara, Costa Rica – thanks to the Harmony Hotel for having us back!
