The Esoteric Wordsmyth
Kafkaesque
Kafkaesque pronounced \kaf-ka-ESK\ After the Czech author Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who depicted such fictional worlds in his novels. Complex or illogical in a bizarre, surreal, or nightmarish manner!
‘In a Kafkaesque touch, [Dr. Andrej Holm's] lack of a cellphone -- hindering the efforts of German authorities to track him -- is deemed 'conspiratorial behavior'.’
