We are still debating whether Kafka should be considered as a tragic or nihilist author, a terrifyingly dark, sardonically bleak neurotic, or as a savvy comic writer with a taste for black humour. This quandary explains why this essay begins by wondering whether one can say that Kafka was "laughing out loud." This essay begins by discussing the function of laughter in Kafka in an early novella belonging to the genre of the "comic grotesque" prevalent in the pre-Expressionist German culture.
