Description:
As narrative becomes less taut in each setting, the story's meaning is expressed more purely through form — the short journey/story becomes, in these settings, increasingly eternal — the destination of the village receding farther and farther into the distance. The final setting is just partial, as at that point we can imagine the process of telescoping continuing into infinity.
In my reading, Kafka seems to offer us two linked perspectives: While we can hope to achieve almost nothing in life (there's both not enough time and endless digressions to face), in the end everything we could want — perhaps even total abundance, timelessness — lies in the expanding distance between here and the very next village.
