Summary/Abstract: The narrative work of Cuban Calvert Casey (1924–1969) receives a decided influence from the literary and metaphysical world of the great Franz Kafka. This article shows some of the Kafkaesque constants that populate Casey’s stories. Atmospheres, symbols, characters, simulated attitudes, feelings of threat and hostility build the work of one of the most courageous and original Cuban writers of the sixties, who would also dedicate one of his essays to the author of The Metamorphosis.
