Repudiated by his parents after a family scandal, Karl Rossmann is sent to the United States not only to avoid the consequences of his actions, but to find a way to redeem himself in the land of opportunity. Even before disembarking, young Rossmann is swept into a whirlwind of setbacks and improvised flights forward that, rather than taking him away from his starting point, will inevitably separate him from his goals. The Man Who Disappeared is the story of a boy who, filled with tireless optimism, clings to every fragile sign of prosperity he encounters. Invariably, something ends up thwarting his plans to redirect his life, condemning him to misery. In this unfinished novel, Kafka shows us how, no matter how hard we try, hope leads to disillusionment, separating us from who we want to be until we disappear.
