  • Summary

  • In Franz Kafka's classic story of alienation, we open to Gregor Samsa, travelling salesman, who upon waking realises that he has been transformed into an insect.

    Since that family has been completely dependant on Gregor to pay for their lifestyle, including paying off debts his father owes, it's clear they'll need to change to cope with their new situation. We follow the family as they respond and undergo their own transformation, while Gregor, in his own way, is still trying to please them.

    First published in 1915, this absurd novella reads reads like a surprisingly modern commentary on dependence, change and "otherness".
