内容説明
Left unfinished by Kafka in 1922 and not published until 1926, two years after his death, The Castle is the haunting tale of K.’s relentless, unavailing struggle with an inscrutable authority in order to gain access to the Castle. Scrupulously following the fluidity and breathlessness of the sparsely punctuated original manuscript, Mark Harman’s new translation reveals levels of comedy, energy, and visual power previously unknown to English language readers.

They are perhaps the most famous literary instructions never followed: "Dearest Max, my last request: Everything I leave behind me ... in the way of diaries, manuscripts, letters (my own and others'), sketches, and so on, [is] to be burned unread...." Thankfully, Max Brod did not honor his friend Franz Kafka's final wishes. Instead, he did everything within his power to ensure that Kafka's work would find publication--including making some sweeping changes in the original texts. Until recently, the world has known only Brod's version of Kafka, with its altered punctuation, word order, and chapter divisions. Restoring much of what had previously been expunged, as well as the fluid, oral quality of Kafka's original German, Mark Harman's new translation of The Castle is a major literary event.
One of three unfinished novels left after Kafka's death, The Castle is in many ways the writer's most enduring and influential work. In Harman's muscular translation, Kafka's text seems more modern than ever, the words tumbling over one another, the sentences separated only by commas. Harman's version also ends the same way as Kafka's original manuscript--that is, in mid-sentence: "She held out her trembling hand to K. and had him sit down beside her, she spoke with great difficulty, it was difficult to understand her, but what she said--." For anyone used to reading Kafka in his artificially complete form, the effect is extraordinary; it is as if Kafka himself had just stepped from the room, leaving behind him a work whose resolution is the more haunting for being forever out of reach.

この作品が醸し出すものは、現在サイコサスペンスとかサイコホラーと呼ばれるジャンルの先駆けになるのではという印象を持ちました。有名な作品なので内容はよく知られていると思います。ユダヤ人であるカフカが生きた時代を比喩したものであるということは判るのですが、全体を見回してみると謎だらけの作品です。奇怪で滑稽、そして不可解。
謎だけにその分面白いです。

日本語で読んだときの方がよりKの視点に近かったです。英語で読んだら「その他の人物」の意見の方が正しい気がしてきました。Kって村人の生活をめちゃくちゃにしてるだけじゃん！悪いヤツ！みたいな。
英語だからそう思えたのか、２回目に読んだからなのか、ほかに何か理由があるのか、それはわかりません。
