More about the book
America was the third of Kafka's great novels to be published. Surprisingly, after the brooding menace of The Castle and The Trial, it is far lighter and more realistic - certainly his happiest book. And yet beneath the surface comedy of young Karl Rossmann's discovery of America, Kafka remains a novelist who never quite means exactly what he seems to be saying.
