The Lives of Joseph K the Cat
A fable designed to assist adult learners
of English as a Foreign Language
"Joseph K was given his name by his manservant for the reason that it would be a talking point for his friends, particularly his girl friends, and would give the impression that he had an intellectual superiority amongst his circle. Although he did not admit this to anyone, least of all himself, he had not read the book from where he derived the name."
