One of this author's short stories sees the Burgomaster learn about a ship travelling from port to port bearing the body of the long-deceased Hunter Gracchus. Much of his work was published against his wishes posthumously by his literary executor Max Brod, such as a novel  detailing a man's struggle with the (*) law for a crime he did not commit, and his eventual death "like a dog."  His most famous work sees Grete desire to attend a conservatory, and some lodgers scared away by the hideous transformation of Gregor Samsa. For ten points, who is this author of The Trial and The Metamorphosis?
