His work which fuses elements of realism and the fantastic typically features isolated protagonists faced by bizarre or surrealistic predicaments and incomprehensible social-bureaucratic powers and has been interpreted as exploring themes of alienation existential anxiety guilt and absurdity. His best known works include Die Verwandlung "The Metamorphosis" Der Process The Trial and Das Schloss The Castle. The term Kafkaesque has entered the English language to describe situations like those in his writing.<br/><br/>The Trial tells the story of a man arrested and prosecuted by a remote inaccessible authority with the nature of his crime revealed neither to him nor to the reader. Heavily influenced by Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamazov Kafka even went so far as to call Dostoevsky a blood relative. Like Kafka's other novels The Trial was never completed although it does include a chapter which brings the story to an end.<br/><br/>Alan E. Cober 1935-1998 was an American illustrator. His artwork appeared in The New York Times Life and Time. His drawings of institutionalized people prisoners the mentally disabled and the elderly were compiled into a book called The Forgotten Society which was also published in 1975.<br/><br/>Limited Editions Club Bibliography 495.
