As Adorno once wrote about the appeal of Kafka's novels: "Comfortably enjoying uncomfortableness".

It's a matter of taste of course, but Austerlitz gets my vote for his greatest book. However, why is it "oddly" not depressing? The calm potency of his language, the purity of the evocations that it contains. This has little to do with what he writes about and much to do with how. As a Proustian, I would say that that you are mistaking the subject for the literary experience of the work as if the former were the origin of the latter. Proust calls this a mistake one of idolatry.
