THE TRIAL BY FRANZ KAFKA (1925)—Written in 1914 and published posthumously, The Trial is one of the masterpieces of the twentieth century. Josef K. is a respectable bank officer who is inexplicably arrested for a crime he didn’t commit and about which he can get no information. Albert Camus said of this nightmarish tale, “It states the problem of the absurd in its entirety.” The Book Club will be reading the highly praised translation by Breon Mitchell (Schocken, 1999). The Wolfsonian Book Club explores literary works whose subjects are relevant to current exhibitions and collection themes.
