What is Kafka on the Internet?
People often use "Kafka style" to describe surreal, nightmarish absurdity, strangeness and excessive expansion.

People often summarize the philosophical thoughts and expressions of great writers and derive specific adjectives to understand them, such as Homer's epic, Shakespeare and Joyce. The other two adjectives seem to be more suitable for most modern situations, darker and more introverted: "Orwellian" and "Kafka".

When you look up the specific definition of Kafka in an English dictionary, you usually get surreal and nightmarish absurdity, strangeness and hyper-expansion. The Oxford Dictionary interprets it as "oppressive or nightmarish", while Webster's Dictionary suggests: "nightmarishly complex, absurd or illogical. 」

Franz Kafka (1July 3, 883-1June 3, 924), an Austrian novelist, is a famous expressionist writer in Europe. Kafka lived in an era when Austria-Hungary was about to collapse.

Deeply influenced by Nietzsche and Bergson's philosophy, he has always been a bystander of political events. Most of his works use grotesque images and symbolic intuition. His main works are Trial, Castle and Metamorphosis.
