Franz Kafka's The metamorphosis (New ed)

Franz Kafka's ""The Metamorphosis"" climaxes in the very first line - the protagonist has indeed been transformed.

The critical questions lie in the interpretation of the transformation.

Kafka has been said to have offered everything from a psychological parable of the Oedipal struggle to a caricature of psychological readings.

In this collection of new critical essays, Kafka's life and other works are featured as well as notes on the essay contributors.
