  • The Trial

    The Trial
    Aug 4 2025
    Franz Kafka’s "The Trial (Der Prozess)" is one of the most haunting and influential novels of the 20th century. Kafka began writing The Trial during the early years of World War I (1914–1915 )but never completed it. Instead he left a series of fragmented chapters which were transcribed in loose-leaf notebooks, leaving no clear instructions on the novel’s structure. Kafka died in 1924 having never published the novel. In his will, he asked his friend Max Brod to burn all his unpublished manuscripts but fortunately Brod famously ignored this request and published The Trial in 1925. As a German-speaking Jew in Prague under the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Kafka experienced cultural marginalization. He worked as a legal clerk at the Workers’ Accident Insurance Institute in Prague which exposed him to the cold machinery of bureaucracy which seems to underpin the nightmarish, opaque legal system in "The Trial." In his youth, Kafka had a fraught relationship with his father, and he often felt overwhelmed by guilt and inadequacy, even when he had done nothing wrong. His feelings of guilt without cause and punishment without explanation, embodied his protagonist of the novel, Josef K. In fact his protagonist mirrored his feelings of being trapped in a world he could not understand or influence. Arguably more than ever, Kafka’s novel has become a prophetic mirror for modern society in that modern citizens often face labyrinthine institutions, where decisions are made behind closed doors. Think: immigration systems, corporate algorithms, or opaque AI models — where outcomes feel arbitrary and unchallengeable. The term “Kafkaesque” has entered our lexicon to describe situations where people are caught in absurd, illogical, and powerless scenarios. Today we hear or read about people facing indefinite detention, show trials, or automated decision-making systems that deny appeals. In The Trial, Josef K. is told he’s guilty but never told why. This loss of individual agency is often reflected today in many situations where people are denied loans, benefits, or parole based on data-driven decisions with no transparency and we have heard or witnessed whistleblowers, journalists, and activists often facing persecution without clear legal recourse. Kafka’s world foreshadows regimes that operate via endless process rather than justice and it can be argued that our own government weaponizes laws to suppress dissent, making The Trial feel eerily current.
