The Trial

Description:
From its gripping first sentence onward, this novel exemplifies the term "Kafkaesque." Its darkly humorous narrative recounts a bank clerk's entrapment in a bureaucratic maze, based on an undisclosed charge.

I liked The Metamorphosis but The Trial by Franz Kafka just didn't quite work out for me in the same way. If you're looking for a bleak dystopia where it's more guilty until proven innocent than anything else, you might want to try this.
