Modernism is marked by a break with tradition and established views in favor of individualism and inner strength. Modernists believe life is unordered and explore the subconscious through unconventional narratives featuring open form, free verse, and borrowing from other cultures. Franz Kafka is considered a modernist novelist for works celebrating the individual amid alienation through narratives employing experimental techniques that challenged conventions.
