  • I did an entire semester on him, and maybe I’m just a philistine but for my money there was very little difference between Before the Law (a short story of ~650 words) and any of his longer works. So if you’ve read that and The Metamorphosis you know basically all you need to know about his writing.

    There are other interesting stories for sure (I’d recommend In the Penal Colony and The Trial as Bones also mentioned), but the themes are very much the same throughout-- which I suppose is why the work Kafkaesque exists.



  • The pattern is behind a paywall so it’s hard to tell how it would be presented, but it looks pretty involved. I probably wouldn’t attempt it without being familiar with some decent experience with irregular shaping and such.

    It’s not perfect but ravelry has skill levels listed-- maybe start with easy ones and move up until you feel comfortable trying this one?
