Okay, so you know that part of the book where he gets to the fifth story of the building, and he starts talking to the "fat little man" on the bench, and he says he's here out of compassion, he picks up the inspector's book and handles it saying it disgusts him, there's the two crowds one of which he feels he speaks what they're thinking (the silent side), there's the women who walks through the door who was just washing diapers when he walked in and she locked the door behind him? I'm just sitting here thinking, okay, this is the weirdest fucking thing I've ever read, and I need someone to explain this to me. It's just so absurd and dream like, I have a hard time going forward and just leaving these incredibly bizarre loose ends untied. Maybe he'll clear up what all of this means? No spoilers please, I'm only on page 46.

You just have to imagine it with an Eraserhead type of atmosphere.

That's Kafka's signature style, it's uneasy and paranoid, shit will only get weirder in the rest of the novel. I do think that you really can't translate Kafka without compromising his command over the language.

Just think of it as an absurd comedy. Makes much more sense.
