Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka: A Harrowing, Yet Weirdly Comical, Reflection on Human Feelings of Inadequacy, Guilt, & Isolation — Keep Reading!
It was no dream.
Waking up one morning to uneasy dreams, salesman Gregor Samsa finds himself transformed into a monstrous vermin. His hard, armor-plated back makes getting up almost impossible. His frail, thin legs make for a stark contrast from his brown, domed belly.
With nowhere to run, he is forced to face his family and deal with their disgust… lest he faces condemnation from the rest of society.
As the sole breadwinner in his household, there was a time when he supplied their every need. Now that he is no longer able to do so, his family is left to fend for themselves and simmers with resentment over their new burden.
What happened to Gregor? Is he cursed by some unknown malevolent entity? One of the many faces he chanced upon in his travels?

Franz Kafka
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a primarily German-speaking Bohemian author, known for his impressive fusion of realism and fantasy in his work. Despite his commendable writing abilities, Kafka worked as a lawyer for most of his life and wrote in his free time. Though most of Kafka’s literary acclaim was gained postmortem, he earned a respected legacy and now is regarded as a major literary figure of the 20th century.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5That was weird as futt. Sci-fi horror in the form of literature. I’m sure there’s a deeper message that the author is meaning to send the reader but still trying to find what are we supposed to learn from this book.
