1983 AU2. Discovered 1983 Jan. 10 by R. Kirk and D. Rudy at Palomar.
Named in memory of the Bohemian writer Franz Kafka (1883–1924). In his novels and short stories (of which The Castle, The Trial and Metamorphosis are best known), Kafka depicted the fatalistic struggles of ordinary individuals to cope with a world turned surreal and incomprehensibly hostile.
