All the heroes or should i say anti-heroes of Kafka are involved in absurds situations, situations with no exit, situations they are not able to explain to themselves...
Absurdity as a metaphor, an existential parabol...
Some other authors are kafakesque too , such as Ionesco or Camus or Beckett, Robbe-Grillet and even Sartre...

is an absurd situation synonymous with a situation that lacks an exist? to me, kafkaesque is be a story that has an inherent sense of despair or lack of hope, but that teaches the opposite in the process.
