’Kafka – a Freudo-Structuralist Analysis’ deals with the stylistic effects of Kafka’s Novels and Short Stories and concentrates mainly on understanding what contributed to the famous Kafka effect – the ’Kafkaesque’. The author – Kaj Bernh. Genell, born in Sweden, who is also an author of novels in English and Swedish, thoroughly explains the determining structural triplicity of a discourse seen as Consciousness. Important in this structure is how Freud, Romantic irony, and Symbolistic Literature simultaneously co-work as a mythical subtext. Kafka created what would become critical parts of the definition of Modern Man. Thus, according to the author, understanding Kafka – and his extraordinary technique – is the main road to understanding Modernity and our Future.
