None of his peasant cultists know what that means, or who Kafka was.
What would you recommend to
methe peasants if they want to read something from Kafka that illuminates the meaning here?Das Schloss
RIP General Leo.
- The cruelty is the point
- That’s too complex of a word for them
My first exposure to the word “Kafkaesque” was on the show Mission Hill, with a character complaining about how often people misuse it. I didn’t really understand what it meant, I was like 12 years old staying up late to watch it on adult swim, not quite the target audience for either the show or Kafka.
As I got older and began to understand the world better, that colored my perception a bit, I heard a lot of people use and more often misuse it, and little clips of Mission Hill played in the back of my mind.
I miss the days when everyone seemed to be misusing the word “Kafkaesque.” Now it seems like you can slap that label on just anything and it would be accurate. It’s almost hard to misuse it anymore.
Please, no meat-touching, ma’am.
Quit being so Kafkaesque about it.
Oh hey, someone else is still immediately reminded of Mission Hill everytime they hear something referred to as kafkaesque.
