For the feeling of The Trial/Castle, the traditional /lit/ pick has been The Tatar Steppe by Buzatti.

For the feel of funny stories like The Great Wall of China, Alasdair Gray's stories and some of Borges.

For the feel of stories in the more oppressive mould, Ilse Aichinger and some of Cortazar.

Kafka is overrated. All he did was take the British satires that dealt with bizarre customs and circular bureaucracies (Swift, Dickens, Carroll) and did the Batman movie thing of "No, what if this shit was REAL?" Pretty genius, actually.

Try the Iranian author Hedayat. His "Blind Owl" is great.

>> No.15563832

Hedayat litarally translated Kafka and is really Kafkaesque.
