It's like the word it is attached to, so in this case Kafka-like, resembling Kafka in style.

I agree with Matti, the suffix -esque means "like, similar or resembling". http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=esque&searchmode=none And now I know how to translate it in Spanish. ¡Feliz año nuevo Luis! (^_^)
