What does it even mean?

>>87440397
Kafkaesque? It usually means a story about a character that goes through a horrible, unfixable transformation

>>87438686
Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Master

>>87440397
A clueless protagonist who protests about random happenings out of his control and usually culminates in his demise.

>>87440649
so like the dark knight rises opening scene?

boring and pretentious under the guise of brilliance used by intellectuals as an inside joke to laugh at people who purport to "get it"

stop watching tv and read more

>>87440712
funny, I said CIA Rises

But I think there's more to the term. Something something bureaucracy is evil.

>>87440397
it's like being on top of quicksand and being uncomfortable about sand in your shoes on your way down

>>87440397
anything that relates to the characters and stories from the works of kafka.

>>87440915
Kafka is GoT of books

>>87441095
so the "starts great and then goes to shit" type of author?

>>87440397
Stories about a person becoming the victim of arcane and nebulous processes neither he now the audience could possibly understand.

I'm writing a "Kafkaesque" novel that obviously has (subtle) /tv/ references and I wrote the main character for Brendan Fraser.
