New Meanings for "Kafka-esque"

I'm really taken with the title Kafka gave to the journals in which he stashed his collection of erot/ica and p0rnogra/phy: The Amethyst/Opals. Believe it or not, the existence of the journals—ignored or buried by Kafka scholars—is the subject of a Times exposé and a lot of hand wringing in what one young brooding academic calls the "Kafka industry".

There's a "Kafka-industrial complex" crack to be mad here, but I can't seem to make it fit.
