Kafka at Sea? AtD pp. 516-519

[Ya Sam]

Unfortunately I cannot either confirm or deny it as I read Amerika about 10 
years ago and I don't remember it well, but the book is valuable in itself 
and although it is quite a depressive read, it is worth checking out. There 
is a description of a big ship there in the beginning, but most of the 
action takes place ashore.
