buffalomj 's review for:
Metamorphosis and Other Stories
by Franz Kafka
Kafka is easily one of my favorite writers. He is Haunting and quizzical, disturbing and delightful. This collection contains his short stories, the work that Kafka is most known for. Naturally "The Metamorphosis" is just as good as you have been told, but I'd argue that "In the Penal Colony" is the best offering here. It affected me physically.
This was a jumping in point for Kafka's writing for me. Since then, I have read a couple of his novels and most of his stories a few times. Each read gets better and better, so I cannot recommend this highly enough.
