Kafkaesque:
 The New Yorker describes the word Kafkaesque “marked by surreal distortion and often a sense of impending danger: Kafkaesque fantasies of the impassive interrogation, the false trial, the confiscated passport… haunt his innocence”. Whereas Dictionary.com refers to the same as “marked by a senseless, disorienting, often menacing complexity: Kafkaesque bureaucracies”. In The New Yorker, John Updikes says “Self-loathing and self-distrust lurk in his work with somatic unease; he is the forbear of modern man’s sense of dread”.
