I did an entire semester on him, and maybe I'm just a philistine but for my money there was very little difference between Before the Law (a short story of ~650 words) and any of his longer works. So if you've read that and The Metamorphosis you know basically all you need to know about his writing.
There are other interesting stories for sure (I'd recommend In the Penal Colony and The Trial as Bones also mentioned), but the themes are very much the same throughout-- which I suppose is why the work Kafkaesque exists.
Cool! I felt like I just read a weird version of Samurai Jack. I’ll have to check out more of his work.
