incredibly depressing and yet masterfully written piece. i dont know what i could say about it that hasn't been said a million times over, but truly there is something incredible about the way in which kafka can exaggerate the simplest aspects of the human condition into something both horrifying and omnipresently possible. highly recommend
Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (Audiobook)
The esteemed Franz Kafka has written a novel based upon the inner workings of an unfortunate family crisis. One that delves deep into the psyche of what happens when the breadwinner of the family goes through a metamorphosis, literally. The premise is one of outlandish proportions but poignant nonetheless. The reader, or listener in this case, is challenged to look beyond the surface and discover the complexities that lie within. What is Kafka trying to say? A book that is certainly open for each individual's interpretation, but one remaining constant is our empathetic feelings for our main character, Gregor Samsa. Highly recommended!
This audiobook version was narrated by Martin Jarvis. He does a splendid job keeping the listener engaged throughout. The mic audio was a tad wonky on my listening experience, but Jarvis' smooth and exciting delivery still made this a great experience.

Everything about this book was so tragic and familiar. My heart broke for Kafka himself many times over reading it. Thinking about how ostracized one would have to feel to write such a story; to even come up with it. And I get it, or at least I think I do, and I want so badly for every person to read this, to know that someone else felt it too, to know you’re not alone.
how human a feeling it is to feel not human at all.
