On this day, 3 June 1924, Jewish socialist Czech author Franz Kafka died of tuberculosis in Austria. A prolific writer, his short story Metamorphosis was a damning critique of how society treats the ill and disabled, and The Trial, his most famous work, is a masterful condemnation of state bureaucracy: hence the term “Kafka-esque”.
