I would interpret it this way (hope I don't misinterpret the quote) In Argentina, Kafka would would feel right at home.
or- What's considered kafkaesque in the rest of the world is considered
normal custom in Argentina.
Neither of these are direct translations, but I believe the gist of the statement is translated.
I think term chronicler may be a good term for costumbrista. Chroniclers like Erma Bombach write humorous and
often true accounts of life in the United States of their time. Currently Gail Collins in the New York Times writes this way but with a strong political slant.
