Southern Gothic, Kafka, and Moby-Dick: Kafkaesque

own style as being kafka esque What do they mean

Kafka asked scenes to mean it's sort of like if

you hear a bunch of people talking about this great

inside joke that they all get what we were struggling

really hard to understand what they're talking about and no

one will give you any clues No one gives you

any help and when they try it just makes you

more and more confused So kafka was writing about these

stories about people trying to figure out their place in

the world but he does it from a very removed

standpoint Kafka as author sort of writes sort of in

a sterile way He just gives you the facts let's

the reader and do the rest of it's almost journalism

in a strange way Okay and as a corollary to

this what is existentialism Existentialism is a way of thinking

or usually seen like it's worrying about how you fit

into the rest of the world Does the universe care

about you Is there a point to life Things of

that are sort of the deep existentialist questions that kafka

was working with God it so we take out the

word exist in there and it's essential to exist and

calling it something like that anyway okay terrific What is 00:01:57.824 --> [endTime] kafka esque What is existentialism Say what
