THE MAN WHO DISAPPEARED (AMERICA) Amerika; The Missing Person; Lost in America

While most would not consider a Kafka work to be a pleasant listening experience, Pugh does a splendid job at narrating Kafka's account of the (mis)adventures of one Karl Rossman in a post-World War America. The plot is not as surreal as the author's METAMORPHOSIS or some of his fables such as "Before the Law," but it is nevertheless a somewhat surreal set of adventures, places, and peoples that Karl endures. Pugh has a versatile voice, and he is able to affect a wide range of distinct and credible voices for individuals, male and female, who are from different regions and countries.
