"Either. Though I think having the palate for one or the other is certainly influenced by mood." A few dozen pages of Gregor Samsa's troubles is going to be a more refreshing afternoon read than the weightier Das Schloss he spots on the shelf beside it.

Upon closer inspection, the slim book in his hands appears to include both the original German and an English translation. Henry regards the survival of the former with some relief, since he has come across some truly horrific translations in his day.

"Good. That one's worth a second and third visit for sure."
