A terrifying psychological trip into the life of one Joseph
K., an ordinary man who wakes up one day to find himself accused of
a crime he did not commit, a crime whose nature is never revealed
to him. Once arrested, he is released, but must report to court on
a regular basis--an event that proves maddening, as nothing is ever
resolved. As he grows more uncertain of his fate, his personal
life--including work at a bank and his relations with his landlady
and a young woman who lives next door--becomes increasingly
unpredictable. As K. tries to gain control, he succeeds only in
accelerating his own excruciating downward spiral.
