Franz Kafka · 1915 · Surrealism
Gregor Samsa wakes one morning to find he has become an enormous insect. The story's real horror isn't the transformation but the family's practical, slowly-darkening response to it. A short, suffocating masterpiece that has supplied a working adjective to a hundred languages.
