I don't think there is one consensus on what Kafka really meant to tell/showcase via this novel. I still don't consider it as good as the Trial (which is unprecedentedly good) and really puts Kafka-esque in the true sense.
I read Death of Grass by John Christopher. It's a dystopic sci fi novel though it mostly concerns with the human elements [the dystopia involves a world where a virus basically wipes out any blade of grass; essentially agriculture being done for and madness that follows ). It's within 200 pages and quite a decent read.
