I m thinking about reading a book from Kafka.

From what I know it can be an heavy reading, so I m looking for sudgestions on what should I read first.

    I loove metamorphosis. It’s hilarious and short.

    If you want something even more relatable the trial would fit pretty well. That does depend in your upbringing a bit and of course your sense of humour etc

      Second this, Metamorphosis is a good quick read and was also my introduction to Kafka.

    Der Prozess/The Trial is one of the better ones in my opinion. Really captures the essence of Kafka. Of course, it is also one of his longer works.
