This is a detailed analysis of Kafka's novel The Castle, followed
by a note on The Trial which points to the resemblance between the
two books. Gray's starting point is the patient investigation of
what the novel says and does. His object is to avoid any premature
decision about 'what Kafka was driving at', for the result of that
decision in previous critics was that, armed with a theological,
political or psychoanalytical theory that partly fitted, they
violated the delicacy and simplified the complexity of the book's
operation on the mind. The Castle is not an allegory in which every
component 'stands' for some simple thing or quality; it has to be
entered and moved about in, the parts referred to each other, the
resonances listened to. The Castle is a great work in itself and
also has relationships with others in other languages. Gray's
exemplary method makes his book valuable to any serious reader of
literature.
