Czech author and bureaucrat Franz Kafka died at the age of forty on this day one hundred years ago. His life and work have proven a constant inspiration for other artists, not least in cinema.
Kafkaology is discourse for replacing Kafka with the kafkologised Kafka. – Milan Kundera
What’s Kafkaesque is when you enter a surreal world in which all your control patterns, all your plans, the whole way in which you have configured your behaviour begins to fall to pieces. You don’t give up, you don’t lie down and die. What you do is struggle against this with all of your equipment, with whatever you have. But of course you don’t stand a chance. – Frederick Karl, biographer
Sex with you is really a kafkaesque experience. I mean that as a compliment. – Pam in Annie Hall
