Translated from the Hungarian by Len Rix
Opening: On the train everything seemed fine. The trouble began in Venice, with the back-alleys.
Only a few times a year the back cover epiphets match the inner contents, usually the talkingitup is entirely misleading. An incredible piece of writing that displays acute human observation with dry humour and absurdity. A must for any Kafka fan.
Fully recommended.
