Franz Kafka was an author of short stories mostly. Usually he depicted situations in which the obvious solution was not doable, or situations where a seemingly reachable goal was unreachable. Some people say Kafka was crazy, but I believe his message came from experience with bureaucracy.

Franz Kafka is a person...
He was a German novelist who wrote The Metamorphosis.
You may have heard something in reference to his literary style... things are referred to as "Kafkaesque" sometimes.

Franz Kafka, he was a novelist- *LOL* the "brooding intellectual" types loved to quote him or expound on the psychology of his thinking or his works- I am kinda lukewarm about his works myself. Please read them for yourself and make up your own mind though :o)
