One day during his work, he hears the sounds of moaning and crying coming from somewhere in the bank. This lady starts to flirt with K until her husband arrives and takes K to show him around the court, that suffocating place for K. After a week, he is called again for his hearing but this time the entire courtroom is empty and there is no one in there except for one lady. The Court Judge says that K was late for his hearing and this will never help his case. He roams around town until he finds the court to be on the top floor of an apartment building. However, he is not given a proper address or even a floor. Later, while spending time in his room, he gets a call that he is expected at the court.

He isn't taken to jail but is instead told to carry on with his business as normal. On his 30th Birthday, he is arrested by two police officers and isn't told on what charges he has been arrested for and where he is going to be taken next. Joseph K is a bank clerk and keeps to himself. If you wish to skip this process I'll try to do justice and summarise the plot of the novel here. It might be a moderately long read not because of its length but because of its absurdity. I'd highly recommend you to read the book first. One of such Never Finished Novels written by Kafka is The Trial. But it was this literature that led to the light of Kafka's lamp by the flailing attempts of hitting at the switchboard by Literature. He even insisted on burning all of his works in his will. One of the most influential writers of the twentieth century, Franz Kafka never finished any of his full-length novels.
