Reviews"The world of the officials and the world of the fathers are the same to Kafka. The similarity does not redound to this world's credit; it consists of dullness, decay, and dirt. Uncleanness is so much the attribute of officials that one could almost regard them as enormous parasites. In the same way the fathers in Kafka's strange families batten on their sons, lying on top of them like enormous parasites." -Walter Benjamin
