I read it when it first came out in English and while i remember very well the gloomy atmosphere, the beautiful, page- long sentences, and even some of the characters, i had forgotten most of the plot. You did a very good job at summarizing it. Almost all of LK's novels have an apocalyptic theme.

This is a great choice. It’s funnier than Liza’s summary suggests (if you find Kafka funny) but would benefit from greater use of periods.

Wow! What did you do? That is awesome! Your proposal is top notch if you ask me. I have to catch my breath. I'm a stupid man, Ms Libes. Thank God for women!
