This study of Kafka's work is not for the faint-hearted as it covers all the fiction he ever wrote (and more) in great detail. I put it aside for quite a while as there is a whole long section on the Zürnau aphorisms (of which I had not even heard) but decided to finish it because I thought the analysis of the Castle would be a revelation to me. It was. If you have read most of Kafka's work and are interested in its background, I would recommend this but you will find it quite expensive as it has to be printed on demand.
