Summary/Abstract: Damaged by a sense of guilt combined with a feeling of strangeness, Kafka finds himself trapped in his own mutilated conscience, where the construction of the self-floats between alienation and absurdity. In this distance that he creates between his being and his double, the desire to write peculiar to Kafka has linked him even more, paradoxically linking him to himself and his – K – alter ego.
