BBC R4 - Franz Kafka's 'The Trial' Adapted by Hanif Kureishi Directed by David Spencer Broadcast December 5, 1982 Coded from tape at 128/44.1 Short turnover gap at 53:20 Thanks to original uploader The Trial was first published in 1925, a year after Kafka's death. In it a man - Josef K. - is arrested and prosecuted by a remote, inaccessible authority. The reason for his arrest and trial are not revealed. What he does discover is that his arresting officers are already suffering punishments behind closed doors. The best advice he receives is that, as a guilty verdict is inevitable, he should drag the trial out. He is tried and found guilty. This book is considered so important because it pre- figures the return to 'show trials' to stiffle dissent, and eliminate at will, through misapplied judicial process.
