Beers & Books (405) – Máirtín O'Cadhain: The Key

Why would people call this book kafkaesque?
It's an excellent Ó Cadhain.

    1. You are right, Sue.
      And to describe the work or parts of an author's work as "Kafkaesque" is more of an honour.
      I was a bit nitpicking.

  2. Poden ser per moltes coses. Potser perqué ja està tot escrit, perqué cada escriptor està influenciat per un altre o simplement, com diu na Sue, perqué la vida és més kafkiana del que ens pot semblar... Sigui com sigui, també imagino que hi ha deixat la seva empremta personal...
