BEER Group Read. Free indirect discourse, speaking of

[Mark Kohut]

An online source sez Kafka is one of the most prominent users of 'free indirect discourse' in his most famous works....
True? (can't check today, no books around) and if so, did one feel caught up a bit in Kafkaesque confusions while
reading BE?

Could you please give some examples of that 'free indirect discourse'?
(I'm only about 120 pages into the book, because I've many things on
my plate right now, and I'm enjoying every bit of it (despite those
negative comments Keith mentions).)
