Full review
This is a typically shocking work of Kafka’s. It describes an instrument used for torturing and killing prisoners who have disobeyed. Kafka describes the instrument (a harrow) with upsetting detail. By means of a multitude of spikes it engraves in the prisoner’s back the sin which he has committed and then drops acid down into the cuts. In a grim reversal of fate the executioner himself is killed on the instrument and all this is watched by a traveller who calmly leaves at the end. It is a story positively oozing horror, but detailing in physical form the tormenting process of writing that Kafka found himself in.
