Frank Kafka And Literary Modernism

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) is one of the best writers of modernism. He was a neo-romanticist, expressionist and surrealist. The existentialists considered him as their writer of atheism, dread, angst and alienation. The parishioners of the Theatre of the Absurd spoke of him as a writer who spoke of the purposelessness of life. Of course, Kafka was both and he was more than that.
