Re: Weirdest Awesome books you've read? (Possible spoilers)

As regards Kafka, ever since I first read "Metamorphosis" I was pretty sure that what he was trying to describe was a real, actual transformation of a living human being into a giant insect (as opposed to a psychological/mental transformation). I thought that the point was in Kafka's morbid fascination with the absurdness and randomness of life. Like, he was genuinely afraid that one day he might wake up and find himself a giant bug.

Later I read about the accepted interpretation and thought that it was cool and made a lot of sense, but I'm still of two minds about it.

I'm of two minds about it as well. I find the ending to that story one of the most disturbing endings to anything I've read because the family is just so relieved to be rid of him and it's so sad after all the pain he went through. It's even more disturbing when I think of the interpretation that Gregor was insane because there are families who respond the same way in real life. So part of me prefers to think it was a real transformation because it feels more absurd and disconnected from real life and less painful that way. That's just me being incredibly sensitive though.

Generally I like to take Kafka's work literally even in cases where I don't feel so strongly about it. I don't know, it's just more fun that way. For me, the dark humor is stronger.
