A review by terrypaulpearce
Guilty by Anna Kavan

4.0

Kavan is a hidden gem; she deserves to be much more well-known than she is. Even this, which is not rated as one of her best and stayed unpublished for decades, is a beautiful insight into anxiety and fear and an engaging and compelling portrayal of a world of sweeping high-up decisions and arcane rules and how they play havoc with one man. Fully deserves to be thought of as a contemporary of Kafka, as some authors and critics suggest.
