Why Gen Z can’t let Kafka go

Conversation - B1-B2 | Intermediate Level

Description

From its weird nightmares to its cold bureaucracy, Kafka’s work feels strangely current. In this session, we’ll ask: Why is Gen Z “obsessed” with Kafka? Does his world mirror ours? And perhaps, what do we gain (or lose) by romanticizing that darkness?

Questions list

1. Do you know Kafka’s The Metamorphosis? What is it about, in your words?

2. If you woke up as an insect tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d do (or think)?

3. Have you ever resonated deeply with a quote or passage (maybe in poetry, song, or novel) that felt like it was written for you?

1. “Kafka captures modern life better than many contemporary writers.” do you agree? Why or why not?

2. Is it okay to reduce Kafka to memes and quotes? Does that simplify (or distort) his complexity?

3. Do you believe reading Kafka can help you understand yourself more deeply? Or is it just aesthetic?

4. Do you think there are limits to how well a writer from 100 years ago can “predict” modern life?

5. Could the trend of loving Kafka be a form of rebellion (against positivity culture, curated life, etc.)?

6. Should we separate the person (Kafka, with flaws) from the work, or judge both together?

1. You'll have 6 to 10 minutes to have a free talk.

Get ready for an engaging 10 minutes where you'll receive valuable feedback from your tutor regarding vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar mistakes
