The Burrow #177343

The Burrow is an incomplete narrative by Franz Kafka, written 1923-1924, and published posthumously in the magazine Witiko in 1931 by Max Brod. It tells of an animal’s futile struggle to perfect the defence of his giant burrow against enemies. The narrative deals with becoming entangled in obsessive observation of a self-created labyrinth-like construct that causes heightened paranoia.
