As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. This succinct sentence is the beginning of Kafka's narrative which he writes out in detail with his distinctive and relentless objectivity. The grotesque thing about the metamorphosis to an insect is only just brought to light by the suppressed truth in Gregor Samsar's life. The ending can be foreseen but is still surprising; grotesque, dreamlike images get real through straight and precise language. A novel that encourages its readers to think about it.
