The Trial [With Earbuds] by Franz Kafka
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The translator's introduction makes a strong case that this translation was done with care and love, and I feel it comes across in the text. Unfortunately, audio re-dubs have such different audio quality as to be a distraction. Not enough of a distraction to take away from the unreal, dreamlike quality of Kafka's lucid vision of existential panic. What does it all mean? It all may mean nothing and be futile and pointless...
