About this ebook
New translation of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
Poor Gregor Samsa! This guy wakes up one morning to discover that he's become a "monstrous vermin".
The first pages of The Metamorphosis where Gregor tries to communicate through the bedroom door with his family, who think he’s merely being lazy, is vintage screwball comedy. Indeed, scholars and readers alike have delighted in Kafka’s gallows humor and matter-of-fact handling of the absurd and the terrifying.
But it is one of the most enigmatic stories of all time, with an opening sentence that’s unparalleled in all of literature.

That was different! It was a quick read and pretty interesting. I'm glad I read it, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone I know. But it was well worth the $1.

This was my first read of Kafka's work, and albeit was a quick read, it was a read that was definitely worth my time in my most honest opinion. (As I have some depressing history with my own family, and I felt a strange connection to Gregor, sadly.) TLDR; Sorry for the note at the end!
