Hace años lo leí y entendí la historia en una forma literal; pensé que era algo como de fantasía y por eso un hombre se veía transformado en insecto. Es ahora cuando logro entender mucho más de qué va realmente la historia.
Es verdad que para cada libro hay un momento específico de lectura.

A quick and bizarre read highlighting the impact of alienation and "otherness." Watching the devolution of the protagonist and the response of those around him to events wholly outside of his control was an emotional experience. This book will make you think twice about how we view others, the labels "us" and "them," and perhaps even the sentience of the insects around you.
