I think Kafka is too much of a modernist to have a postmodernist equivalent

this is probably your best answer, though I'm sure someone has a persuasive argument otherwise. but to ascribe a postmodern equivalent to kafka we would first have to determine what is and what is not 'kafkaesque' which would by nature of his writing be challenge enough. (even - in attempting to decode his methods - against the grain of his writing.

I always took 'kafkaesque' to mean something touching in the nightmare of the everyday. As well as the inherent disconnect within the self. What do you think 'kafkaesque' usually denotes?
>>8967629
Pynchonesque, of course. Or novelty-snake-can-esque, if you will.
