Are there any copies of the Trial that don't run on? That indent their paragraphs? I fucking hate this aesthetic.

The entire book 'runs on' no matter how it's formatted.

Get used to a wall o' text reading Kafka novels

That's not a formatting thing on the part of the publisher. That's how it's written.

From what I understand Kafka never finished it? And thus various publishing houses/translators have organized the book in myriad ways.
There was no explicit ordering that Kafka left us with, and if you read other published versions of The Trial, then you see that different chapters can indeed be swapped interchangeably without affecting cadence.

The Trial is the only novel he actually finished. Amerika and The Castle are unfinished.

wrong
>>8320060
Only if you consider "finished" as "having an ending written". It's still missing chapters.

the chapter when K. fires the lawyer is not finished
