description: Elias Canetti's observation that Kafka was "the greatest expert on power" in all its social, psychological and moral complexity, is established as a starting point for this study. The authors then follow this thread through the maze of imagery and motif in The Missing Person, The Trial and The Castle . Their analyses of the novels are preceded by an account of Kafka's life and a survey of critical approaches to his work. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
