Description
America was the third of Kafka's great novels to be published. Surprisingly, after the brooding menace of The Castle and The Trial, it is far lighter and more realistic - certainly his happiest book. And yet beneath the surface comedy of young Karl Rossmann's discovery of America, Kafka remains a novelist who never quite means exactly what he seems to be saying.
