/lit/ - Literature

i'm not gonna pretend to be smart enough to understand this book.
but genuinely why is it lauded about as a masterpiece ?
i went in expecting fitzgerald and dostoevsky levels of writing and subtext but all i got from it was a confusing mess that didn't really say anything.
it didn't feel like a 200 page novel, it was monotonous and uneventful and didn't really offer anything other than "woah this is crazy, nothing makes sense, wooooaaahhhh, i didn't commit a crime, the legal system is corrupt, wooo000aahhhh"
this book was a easy 2/10.
any anons feel like telling me why I'm a smoothbrain and couldn't enjoy it ?

what did i just read

Have I been filtered or perhaps there's some extra curious depth here that I can't grasp?

what is that story about the door and the guard about? and who was in the wrong?

hold up, so the trial is about gods judgement? so does the court stand for the church? what do the lawyers represent?

what is the trial a metaphor for? is it about coming out as gay?
