![]() ![]() I felt bad for Gregor, the young man, and I understood and yet hated his parents and sister. It’s an interesting, if sad, story about a young man who wakes up as a giant insect and must live in complete isolation as his family becomes horrified by him. ![]() ![]() Luckily, I think this book does both well. Personally, I believe even an allegorical story should be interesting in a literal sense. There are honestly two ways to take this novella: literally and allegorically. A harrowing - though absurdly comic - meditation on human feelings of inadequacy, guilt, and isolation, The Metamorphosis has taken its place as one of the most widely read and influential works of twentieth-century fiction.” Review: Synopsis: (from Goodreads) “It is the story of a young man who, transformed overnight into a giant beetle-like insect, becomes an object of disgrace to his family, an outsider in his own home, a quintessentially alienated man. However, I heard this book is Kafka’s best, so I decided to give his writing a second chance.įormat: Audiobook (read by Benedict Cumberbatch!) This is the second book I read by Franz Kafka, the first being The Trial, which I wasn’t really impressed by. ![]()
