Small piercings underline the text of the whole book that has been printed on bible paper and french folded. For this designed version of the book I opted for subtle colour to emphasise that the story, generally considered horror, is in fact somehow quite light in feel. Kafka’s writing has elements of dark humour and great irony. The colour is hidden in between the pages and is not really noticeable when reading. Sometimes a hint of colour will peek through some of the pierced holes. Bible paper is used to reference the Biblical themes of the novella.
