Like Kafka's The Castle, Invitation to a Beheading embodies a vision of any bizarre and irrational world. Within an unnamed desire country, the son Cincinnatus C. is condemned to loss of life by beheading for "gnostical turpitude", an imaginary crime that defies description. Cincinnatus spends his previous days within an absurd jail, where he's been to by chimerical jailers, an executioner who masquerades as a fellow prisoner, and by his in-laws, who lug their furniture with them into his cell. When Cincinnatus is led out to be carried out. he simply wills his executioners out of existence. They disappear, along with the whole world they inhabit.
