It's very nice to read something so well writen. All the details, the discomfort we feel when we have details of the situation, which gradually goes from unreal to common. The way relationships develop, which naturally deepen as episodes and days go by. I need space to read another stuf, but i wanna finish it another moment.

Nunca creí que me iba a gustar tanto este libro, pero la gente tiene razón es muy bueno. Y puede llevar a conversaciones sorprendentes sobre el valor le da la sociedad a las personas que ya no se consideran útiles.

oh this is gutwrenching. i knew as much: kafka turns into a monstrous bug and has a weird relationship with his father. i expected it to be more of a metaphor, but it has surprised me in the approach it took, and it was exactly what i needed. i genuinely can’t find a single flaw in this, the writing style was perfect (thanks to my translation?), even the words fit the context so perfectly, the family dynamics are established so clearly (my favorite part is when grete cries over her mom, her tears pouring down her mom’s face as well), gregor samsa is just one of the most tragic characters i’ve ever read about, the bug “shenanigans” are written exceedingly well, the obvious invisibility of samsa so apparent even when he haunts their thoughts and actions constantly, despite the silence. wowowowow. genuinely a masterpiece.

There is so much here to dig into if you are thinking about disability and the way that families (and society) often fail to see their members as individuals outside of their function but at the bottom of it all, this might just be what its like to be a child and an older sibling.
Reading this makes me want to storm into the Samsa household and carry Gregor away from it all, but the tragedy of it all is I don't believe he would know what he would do with himself outside of his role as the provider and later, the abject representation of his family's anxiety.
