Clare Noone’s Reviews > The Metamorphosis and Other Stories > Status Update

Am I reading this so that I can tell people I read Kafka? Yes I am! I was not expecting this book to bring up uncomfortable emotions. Specifically, a phobia from childhood is back (my goodness 😲)! I’m concerned if I accidentally swallow a fly or wasp I will turn into a bug. It also concerns me that Gregor is not worried about waking up as a bug- that calls for a panic attack in my opinion!
