About “The Stoker”
"The Stoker" is a short story by Franz Kafka. It was originally written as the first chapter of an uncompleted novel. Max Brod titled and published the novel under the name Amerika, and it has also been translated as The Man Who Disappeared and Amerika: The Missing Person. Kafka stopped working on the novel in 1913 and published "The Stoker" separately as a pamphlet later that same year. After Kafka's death, the story has typically been included as the opening chapter of Amerika. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
