Barcelona’s Sant Pau Library is inviting residents to take part in a reading club focused on Franz Kafka’s unfinished novel, The Castle. The initiative is organised by the Ajuntament de Barcelona and is aimed at encouraging community engagement through literature.
The club gives participants a chance to discuss the themes and complexities of Kafka’s work. It also adds to the city’s wider programme of cultural activities and reading groups, which are part of the public library network.
The Castle was published after Kafka’s death. The German-language author is known for writing surreal and existential fiction, and the novel follows a character called K. as he tries to gain access to a mysterious castle and its authorities.
For readers in Barcelona and across Catalonia, the reading club offers a structured way to revisit a classic text and share views with other participants. Details on joining are available through the city’s library services. More local news
