Imagine waking up one day and being told you’re under arrest… for reasons nobody will explain. That’s The Trial: a darkly funny, anxiety-drenched ride through a maze of rules, paperwork, and smug authority where nothing quite adds up. Kafka turns everyday bureaucracy into a surreal nightmare—like your worst customer-service call, but with existential dread. You should read it because it’s weirdly relatable, razor-sharp, and still feels modern (hello, systems that don’t care about logic). Plus, it’ll make you laugh, then immediately question reality. In a good way.
