I write about books because stories do something to me I can’t quite explain, and I’m convinced they do the same to you. This is where I work through it, and you’re invited.

Trial
Started February 7, 2026
“In The Trial, Franz Kafka tells the nightmarish story of Josef K., a man arrested and prosecuted by a mysterious, inaccessible authority for a crime that is never revealed. As he navigates a bewildering labyrinth of bureaucracy, law, and absurdity, K. confronts the terrifying fragility of freedom and identity. A chilling meditation on power, guilt, and alienation, Kafka’s masterpiece blurs the line between reality and nightmare, leaving readers haunted long after the final page.”
