Coles Kafka in a Government Job: A Dark Satire Set in the Indian Bureaucracy at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Anant Mishra joins a government department believing sincerity, hard work, and procedure can bring order to chaos. Instead, he enters a world where files move endlessly without decisions, chairs require administrative justification, circulars contradict themselves, and even biometric machines struggle to recognize human existence.
Inside the crumbling corridors of the Department of Public Harmony & Administrative Coordination, survival depends not on efficiency, but on patience, ritual, and the art of appearing busy while remaining invisible. As Anant navigates missing files, transfer rumors, endless clarifications, and systems that seem to operate beyond logic, he slowly realizes that bureaucracy is not merely an institution. It is a psychological maze that quietly reshapes everyone trapped inside it.
Darkly funny, unsettling, and deeply rooted in the Indian administrative experience, Kafka in a Government Job is a literary satire inspired by the spirit of Franz Kafka and the lived absurdities of modern bureaucracy. It is a story about power, helplessness, procedure, and the strange human resilience that survives even inside the most impersonal systems.
