Definitely giving Kafka a huge break on this book not being the best, due to it being unfinished/postmortemly published. It was okay, confusing as per usual for Kafka. I think I would get more out of it if it was a book I was discussing in an English class. I do find a lot of meaning in the premise of a man being arrested for something and not getting to know what it is, and how you can tie that to authoritarianism and fascism, but I don't think the prompt got to be fully written out and edited to its best potential.
