bookafnd reviewed Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Franz Kafka
good collection of kafka's work
4 étoiles
kafka's storytelling is a bit inscrutable to me. it's realistic in the sense that things just happen for a while without there being an apparent point or conclusion, but also of course it frequently contains fantastical elements. still I enjoyed reading it if only for the writing—which was effective at eliciting emotion, if not conveying it—and not for the social mores.
some of the stories I enjoyed most were "The Men Running Past", "In The Penal Colony", & "A Report to an Academy"
