Surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Book is really a puzzle. Evidence to support many different meanings- intend to read again to get closer to understanding which of those meanings was Kafkas intent. Or maybe the multitude of interpretations itself was the intent…?

Lecture différente de mes habitudes. Je trouvais le livre lent (pour une nouvelle), mais en réalité une fois que je me suis posé et habitué au rythme, j'ai pu apprécier l'histoire, les réflexions qu'elle apporte vis-à-vis du travail et des relations familiales. Malgré un narrateur externe, on est bien plongés dans les pensées de Gregor nous permettant d'à la fois comprendre l'évolution de ses perceptions, mais également de se mettre à la place de sa famille, particulièrement sa sœur quant à la détérioration de son état. L'inquiétude et la résignation qui s'installe s'ajoute à l'atmosphère. Kafka arrive parfaitement à faire parvenir chaque sentiment. En somme une bonne lecture.
