Court reviewed The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
Enjoyable, interesting, curious
4 stars
I'm not sure what to make of this other than perhaps the futility of life. Will need to let it marinade.

The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung) is a novella written by Franz Kafka which was first published in 1915. One of Kafka's best-known works, The Metamorphosis tells the story of salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself inexplicably transformed into a huge insect (German ungeheures Ungeziefer, literally "monstrous vermin") and subsequently struggles to adjust to this new condition. The novella has been widely discussed among literary critics, with differing interpretations being offered.
