Kafkaesque, while often abused into a hyperbolic expression of strangeness, is a very legitimate word.

He has a unique mode of writing fiction, some say he discovered it in The Double by Dosto.

In my own words I would describe it as the communication of reality through creative distortions or even disfigurements.

He takes reality and then augments it to unreality, all so you can see cosmic dimensions in regular life, its anxieties, dangers, boredom, terrors, discoveries and distractions.

I'd describe kafkaesque as trying to run away from an invisible, evil entity that never displays itself.

>> No.22545700

>>22545684
Kafka’s work is typically trying to find something though , but being repeatedly turned away or given the run around or crushed by despair

Retardation. The true meaning of Kafkaesque is to follow reason to the extreme and see how absurd the reason is to begin with. He doesn't do unreality.

His true precursors are Walser and Kleist.
