It's painful to read Kafka. He's endlessly puzzling and stultifying. Perhaps that is how he viewed our existence in the maze of relationships with people and situations rationally completely incomprehensible and callous. Kafka is depressing but enlightening in the last analysis. There might be something autobiographical in his portrayal of situations and people. The helpless but desperate K might be Kafka himself. The embedded subject is both involved in experiencing and detached in his unsentimental observations.
