{"product_id":"the-case-of-carlos-calderon-janna-klarmann-9798246935378","title":"The Case of Carlos Calderon","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen immigration officials arrest Carlos Calderon-an undocumented immigrant by appearance, but not by law-no accusation is made, no paperwork explained, and no timeline offered. His life is abruptly suspended inside a system that refuses to define his crime yet insists on his guilt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Carlos struggles to understand his detention, he is drawn into a bureaucratic labyrinth. Time stretches, reason falters, and each attempt to assert clarity only deepens his confusion. Authority is everywhere and nowhere, and truth becomes dangerously elastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarlos fights to remain rational, to preserve his sense of self against a process that steadily erodes his certainty. Is he succumbing to paranoia and psychosis, or is the world around him fundamentally unhinged? The answer remains deliberately elusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDarkly unsettling and sharply relevant, \u003ci\u003eThe Case of Carlos Calderon\u003c\/i\u003e explores the quiet terror of opaque institutions. It is a haunting meditation on what happens when the demand for justice collides with a system that no longer recognizes the individual-and may never have.\u003c\/p\u003eThis novel quietly celebrates the chilling literary vision of \u003cb\u003eFranz Kafka\u003c\/b\u003e, whose exploration of alienation, absurdity, and inner reckoning continues to echo more than a century after he first gave it voice. I offer this book in his honor-both as a tribute and as an invitation to readers who feel the unsettling pull of his shadow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janna Klarmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798246935378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"Janna Klarmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437796995327,"sku":"9798246935378","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b9fb741d-2250-4f58-b4c5-e3aeac52b84e.jpg?v=1777164122","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-case-of-carlos-calderon-janna-klarmann-9798246935378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
