Detta är ett intresant perspektiv med många olika tolkningar. Översattarna verkar respektera Kafkas visiob för boken och den läses så.

I picked this up out of curiosity after reading Mohsin Hamid's The Last White Man, and I found that I largely appreciated this story about a man whose radical transformation allows his family of societal rejects to come into their own.
I don't understand its place in the literary firmament, but I appreciate having read it.
Moderate: Body horror and Confinement
