Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben.Lured by the title, I took the bait and was helpless while following along with the character P. amid scenarios that were both amusing and ridiculous, though slightly implausible. Literary references abound, which are irrestistible. This book was reminscent of another book by a famous American author (who shall remain nameless). Enjoyable short read.

It's a quick read if you are looking for something relatively amusing and enjoy post-modernism, but I can't fully recommend it.

The title and first section of KAFKA's HAT feels very much like a derivative CASTLE where or TRIAL where the main character walks in and gets lost in absurd paradoxes of expectations and bureaucracies. Except, where Kafka focuses on buildings, laws and customs, Bilodeau turns toward the psychological state of the main character who has been asked to go to a certain building and grab a hat once owned by a famous author named...
After this section, which is already quite entertaining, the books then turns on itself a fabricates a story about the story being told ion the first part and a weird death that happens as the story is disseminated into the future. It starts to feel like a Paul Auster story in a way.
Good book. Very much a short, enjoyable book in the postmodern vein.… (mehr)
