So we are reading this book, Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, which if anyone has played Final Fantasy 3 on the SNES or FF6 on the Playstation you should recognize that Kafka sounds very similar to Kefka, the antagonist of the game.
Anyway, back to the serious business.
The book opens with the main character (Gregor) waking up as a giant insect of sorts. Kafka's disgustingly accurate discriptions of Gregor in his insect state. So basically, we're supposed to accept some european's clearly drug-addled story as a work of pure genious? Not that its a bad story, but it should not be amazing just because of how strange it is. Strangeness does not equal genious in my opinion. If a book is being startling just for the sake of being startling, it dosent make it a work of genious. Ok done for now, gotta make like 2 more posts by tomarrow so peace peeps.
