Can somebody here please explain the appeal of Kafka's 'the trial' to me? I've read it twice in the last two days, once on Monday and again yesterday. I enjoy Kafka's prose, and I can accept the basic premise of it's satire, but anything past that I cannot comprehend.
Tl;dr why is 'the trial' not the modern art of literature

it's supposed to convey the absurdity of bureaucracy, and how it functions like a farce, and how people are enslaved by its ideals, making their actions nonsensical.

it is what it is... the parable aspect of it is even an explicit one... I'm not sure what else you're looking for.
