Kafka: Thinking Outside the Bug
The
term “Kafkaesque” is part of our language. What does it mean? This
comprehensive collection of Franz Kafka’s short fiction begs more questions
than it answers.
One
common definition is “darkly surreal.” In “The Metamorphosis,” Kafka’s
best-known story and one included in this book, a guy wakes up one morning to
discover he is a giant bug. Dark and surreal, right?
