Welcome to Litsy!

#HauntsAndHexes Day 26: This #BlackCvr #BlackCover illustrated version of Kafka‘s Metamorphosis is a rare find while book hunting at Half Price Books in the Bay Area over the summer. Cannot wait to go back in a little over a month‘s time to spend our December holiday in California with family.

I especially enjoyed the two title stories in this collection. Metamorphosis is probably the weirdest story I‘ve ever read. In the Penal Colony was a bit crazy, and both pretty dark. I liked the Country Doctor, and also REALLY enjoyed the Foreword by Ann Rice. It was a great intro and loved how she explained her inspirations from Kafka.

I was expecting to be wowed but, its all a bit flat. Im sure I'm missing something..?

Interesting stories. Not usually something I enjoy. The stories seemed to cruel for me to understand.

#Kafka, the incel.

Variable collection of the fiction Kafka published during his lifetime. Some weird, some just "huh"? Actually the best was a piece of travel writing. Who knew people drove by car to an airshow in 1909?

Continental lunch for Kafka

Who has read this? I am reading it now for the first time. So far I am really enjoying it.
