many of kafka's novels were never finished before his death. do you think you could do them justice and complete them?

No, not me

to what extent are they even unfinished? I've only read The Trial admittedly, and aside from the half-finished scene with the lawyer, its pretty complete and cohesive - even the unfinished fragments from it don't really hint at much more being intended for it. I remember one passage was a chapter of K. skipping court to hang out with his gf. doesn't seem like too much of substance was left out.
the real shame is he didn't live longer and write more.

How would anyone know? Are you retarded?

by reading the story and inferring something was missing based on the context?
I don't know man. a part might be incomplete, might be a lack of continuity, maybe something in the manuscript would indicate it, whatever it might be.
I'm asking because I haven't really read any of it and for all I know his other stories are half-composed, unedited, and full of holes.
use your head faggot.

Amerika, which was intended to be the only novel Kafka wrote with a happy ending, wa quite unfinished and so was the The Castle. Amerika is pretty important too because the first chapter of a part of the sons trilogy, and because the novel was hugely influential on Invisible Man which is considered perhaps the most important African American novel (Harold Bloom considers it the only great African American fiction along with Their Eyes Were Watching God)
