I've never read any Kafka so I have no idea WTF this is supposed to mean.

Ah.

Ugh.

I'm not geeky enough for this.

It is not Franz it is Apache Kafka... Although Metamorphosis is a must in my opinion.

Why? Weird cockroach literature has never been on my list.

You will never see apples in the same way... I can't tell you more without spoiling it.

Oh, you can, because I'm likely never going to read it, there's way too many other books on my list that would take much more priority.

Here you go:

Gregor Samsa wakes up as a giant bug. His family, who he worked hard to support, turns on him. When his father throws apples at him (one getting stuck in his back) it shows how rejected and unwanted he’s become. Gregor is left to die alone, and his family is relieved to see him gone. The story’s a harsh look at how people are discarded when they’re no longer useful.

My son played the part of the jail orderly.

In "the Trial", not "Metamorphosis", I mean.

Amazing play.

i read the first couple of chapters of metamorphosis. they don't write books like that anymore

actually, "someone comes to town, someone leaves town" had that same allegorical vibes
