I read that book back in the 80s, and it was an odd thing. Then a few
years ago, I bought a newer edition of it, that was "restored." The
original was published posthumously and it wasn't clear what Kafka
wanted, so the new edition went back to his original intent or
something. I never got around to reading it, and I don't even remember
the other edition to even make a comparison. I remember it was a bleak
novel with a stark conclusion, and it seemed to just END.
