}} "The Burrow" (German: "Der Bau") is an unfinished short story by Franz Kafka in which a mole-like being burrows through an elaborate system of tunnels it has built over the course of its life. The story was published posthumously in ''Beim Bau der Chinesischen Mauer'' (Berlin, 1931). The first English translation, by Willa and Edwin Muir, was published by Martin Secker in London in 1933. It appeared in ''The Great Wall of China. Stories and Reflections'' (New York: Schocken Books, 1946).〔''The Great Wall of China: Stories and Reflections''. Franz Kafka - 1946 - Schocken Books〕 Allegedly, Kafka had written an ending to the story detailing a struggle with the encroaching beast, but this completed version was among other works destroyed by lover Dora Diamant following Kafka's death. == Themes ==
Kafka's hyper-rational creature functions as a phenomenological parody of human reason. 〔Rituals of Dying, Burrows of Anxiety in Freud, Proust, and Kafka: Prolegomena to a Critical Immunology. J Türk - ''The Germanic Review'', 2007 - Heldref Publications〕 The only direct reference to the creature being physiologically a mole is the line "my forehead -- that unique instrument," in reference to its capacity to burrow tunnels.
