Amerika

Invaluable for tracing Kafka's development as an author, but not a very good work on its own imo. It's too inchoate, Kafka hadn't really developed his voice at that point.

I can't speak for /lit/ at large but it's unfinished so I guess a lot of people don't care for it or consider it canon (?). I dunno. But I do know this: Martin Kippenberger had an installation called "The Happy End to Kafka's Amerika" is very interesting:

Kafka is a whiny neurotic Jew, his writing is the ramblings of a deeply disturbed man and I hope to live to see his name scrubbed out of the western canon.
Max Brod should have let him burn his work like he wanted.

Feels like an interesting tribute to the works of Dickens but I liked it a lot.

All of Kafka's novels are unfinished.
I've read Trial, Meta and Castle, they're same tone, I hope this one is different.
