I’m reading this volume from the last page, working my way in the beginning. Kafka’s characters employ a detached melancholy, often espousing muted poignance in fleeting little moments that leaves one mystified. That’s the premature impression I get anyway. Vladimir Nabokov must be referring to Kafka when he said “Isn’t a writer the one who bothers with trifles?”
