I hated that book so much. I felt sooo sorry for Gregor. I was taking an "Intro to Fiction" class (easy A) and had to read it. I was reading it at work and customers would look at me weird because I had tears all over my face. My teacher said that it was all biblical and I said, who says? Did Kafka sa it was biblical? Why is it people always say that if they like a book? I got the whole class in an up roar!

so I saw a giant flying cockroach last week!! there's definitely something about those buggers that conveys a hint of creepiness.

" Why did Kafka turn Gregor Samsa into a big bug?"

because he had to change into something that society would loathe.

rahat .. putther ... are you going to put a shirt on at some point? and you shoudl stick your tongue in at some point also! ;)
anwyay, i thought that the point of unbearable lightness of being was that if you feck about you lose your morals and you feel light and float around this world. it becomes unbearable being like that. lost. and only morality can truly "ground" you ....
has anyone read "sickness unto death" sorn kierkegaard.

c-stine: that's funny, I'm reading Kundera now. The Joke, one of his earlier works. I think you have to get past the whole sex-fiend thing, despite whatever initial revulsion you may have to see his real point. I forget what that point was though as it was so unbearably light.
...
the magical realism of The Trial felt all too real for me in the context of the post 9-11 patriot act and the indefinite detentions happening just a few towns down the highway from us.

Brains: yeah, kafka wrote the metamorphosis with the intention of publishing it with two others of his shorts in a collection called "The Sons". he also wrote at some point that all his writing was about his dad. but a giant bug?

the play was autobiographical of his life (like The Trial) and how his life and freedom deteriorated and felt like a bug under his very authorotitarian father.
