This is not the exact edition I read, but it is my best guess. I love this book very much. The fact that it is unfinished leaves lots of room for speculation and interpretation. The atmosphere created by Kafka's writing style and world building is dark and mysterious, and feels almost like an evil studio Ghibli movie. This book also contains what I consider the most egregious example of a Kafka woman. I have no idea how K pulls like that.
