The Metamorphosis

This is a reread for me, though my first reading was over forty years ago. It still had the same impact though: powerful...sad...tragic...strange...isolated....A man wakes up and finds he has changed into a dung beetle. His family, his employer, the servants—-all find the man repulsive. It's never clear what has happened, and it's never clear what is going on, and it's never clear how everything is resolved. A very strange story.
