Have heard about this story and author for a while so was pleased to see it come out in the new Penguin book series. Also pleasantly surprised to find that not only does it contain the main story Metamorphosis, but in fact the complete works of Franz Kafka which includes two other short stories and dozens of other short pieces. The main story, ‘Metamorphosis’ is very thought provoking, surreal even, and well written. This book is well worth the price for what you get.
