For this episode in our Patreon-exclusive series on Franz Kafka’s The Trial, we’re joined by Martin Kessler to discuss unfinished masterpieces, over-finished masterpieces, post-humous puzzles, re-edits, rejiggerings, and all manner of ways in which the “completeness” of a masterpiece can remain unresolved. Naturally, Kafka’s work leads the way in the discussion, but quickly turns to artworks ranging from the various film versions of Don Quixote to Bizet’s Carmen to Blade Runner, The Confessions of Felix Krull, Zulawski’s On the Silver Globe, German’s It’s Hard to be a God, Billy Budd and The Good Soldier Schweik.
