Pandemic Wanderings-Kafkaesque Stories depicts an imaginary, paranoid, dystopian world in which the individual has lost all notion of freedom.
The seventy-two texts gathered in this collection invite the reader to share in the experience of tyranny endured by characters who resist yet find themselves overwhelmed by events. How can one keep a grip on reality when reality itself becomes unbearable? That is the book's central question. To highlight the torment of its characters-who struggle, however imperfectly, to preserve their humanity in a Kafkaesque and Orwellian universe-the author has deliberately chosen a phantasmagorical style.
It is sometimes said that reality surpasses fiction. It falls to people of goodwill to prove that saying wrong.
