Abstract

The literary creative nonfiction titled “The Kafkaesque and the Stories of Our K and Samsa” is about the world that Kafka creates in his stories and novels. This piece relates the Kafkaesque to the contemporary social systems. Some people in real life undergo the same bizarre experiences in their lives as Joseph K or Gregor Samsa, Kafka’s famous characters, go through in fiction.
