"Kafkaesque" has become shorthand for situations that feel confusing\, absurd\, oppressive and strangely familiar—and it all began with Franz Kafka. In this guide d discussion\, you'll discover the man behind the word\, exploring his lif e\, his ideas and the works that made him one of the most influential writ ers of the 20th century. Hosted by a passionate Kafka enthusiast\, this se ssion is designed for complete beginners as well as longtime readers\, so you don't need any previous knowledge to enjoy it. Together\, you'll step into Kafka's world and ask why so much of what he wrote still feels painfu lly relevant today. Through his stories\, you'll explore work culture\, bu reaucracy\, identity and the unsettling feeling that our value often depen ds on how useful or productive we are. Along the way\, you'll discover why Kafka's observations sit somewhere between brilliant\, absurd\, heartbrea king and hilarious\, and why they continue to resonate with millions of re aders around the world. If you'd like a little background beforehand\, rea ding a summary of The Trial (also translated as The Process) and The Metam orphosis will enrich the discussion\, but it's completely optional. 你不 需要任何卡夫卡的知识储备即可参与本次活动，但若想 提前准备，建议了解以下作品（非强制）： 《审判》（ 亦译《诉讼》） 《变形记》 极少有作家能像卡夫卡这样 深刻重塑我们对现代生活的认知，以至于人们不得不创 造一个新词来描述其独特风格。“卡夫卡式”（Kafkaesque ）已成为那些令人困惑、荒诞、压抑却又莫名熟悉的境 遇的代名词——而这一切皆源于弗朗茨·卡夫卡。在这场 引导式讨论中，你将走近这个词背后的灵魂人物，探索 他的人生、思想及其奠定其20世纪最具影响力作家地位的 作品。本场活动由一位热忱的卡夫卡研究者主持，专为 零基础新手与资深读者共同设计，无需任何前置知识即 可尽享其中。 [...] DTSTAMP:20260806T232202Z LOCATION:Popcorn Online SUMMARY:Through The Eyes Of Kafka: Are We Only Loved If We're Useful?
