Franz Kafka died 100 years ago near Vienna , but to this day millions of readers around the world are crazy about the dark authors enigmatic stories.

Kafka saw himself as a failed author despite his super talent.

Kafka Esque is a new video game that brings his literary world to life.

Kafka is still relevant 100 years after his death, because the world that he writes about is still our world in some way.

Kafka manages to describe in very clear words the images that we encounter in our nightmares.

These images, the surreal moods, became a huge source of inspiration for writers all over the world.

Kafkaesque is used to describe especially bureaucratic situations that don't quite make sense and seem unreasonable and seem to have been dictated by a higher power.

It's used to talk about something a little dark, macabre, incomprehensible, overwhelming, an absurd situation created by absurd rules.

Will we still know the word in 100 years ? Kafka esque?.
