Ian Ellison

Ian Ellison, a writer and Kafka expert, dives into the labyrinth of Franz Kafka’s 'The Trial' on its 100th anniversary. He unpacks the bizarre experience of a trial that never occurs and its eerie reflections of Kafka’s own struggles with love and identity. The conversation explores the concept of the 'Kafkaesque' and how Kafka's themes of absurdity and bureaucracy resonate in today's society. Ellison also sheds light on the relevance of these ideas amidst modern technology and complex social networks.
