WHEN A STRANGER IS NATURAL AND TRIVIAL NONSENSE: NOTES ABOUT THE NARRATIVE OF FRANZ KAFKA

Abstract

Among many attributes of literature we can find in its gift of prophecy, or pre-set realities still missing some of its most relevant features. Many were the writers whose ability to glimpse, reading the landscape of their time allowed them a writing toward the present world and the hereafter. At the dawn of the twentieth century we see an emerging writer endowed with a literary art marked by the beginnings of a dark time that was presently to appear on the global map of humanity: Franz Kafka.

With the ability to narrate the absurd in a precise tone, cold and formal as the course integrates the daily nightmare, Kafka enter his name in the panorama of the letters not only because of his famous narrative truncated and exacting, but also by writing a fantastic privilege, where characters and beings move in a strangely real world.

Therefore, we intend to examine by this work how the narrative of this Jewish writer realizes in the novel's metamorphosis not only a prophetic writings, but also by through what procedures his literature will worth to tell this new world that has seen the emergence of Kafka. Thus, we try to understand how the Freudian concept called strange is anticipated in production of Kafka and how he, through the so-called inversion technique, is one of the sources to understand the author's strange realism.
