Some Thoughts

Definitions of "Kafkaesque"
  • Having a nightmarishly complex, bizarre, or illogical quality
  • Marked by a senseless, disorienting, often menacing complexity

Definitions of "Surreal"
  • Marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream
  • Having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream; unreal; fantastic

A pitch-perfect line from chapter 4 that gets at the root of this thing:
 
 "...a very disquieting impression of unnaturalness, amounting almost to what was horrible and monstrous."
