Fab, try to keep your insecurities to yourself, try to stop projecting your daddy and general closet homosexual issues onto everyone and everything else whilst posting in a manner that attempts to seek any kind of attention, even negative, in order to fulfil the lack of that attention you receive (or don't) in real life. please and thankyou!

already told you deepandfaggy
here's a few i have written down:

Edward W Said - the world, the text & the critic (the essay not his book)
Ferdinand De Saussure - place of language in the facts of speech
Jacques Derrida - Margins of Phiosphy
Foucalt - History of Sexuality
Karl Marx & Frederich Engels - Social Being & Social Consciousness
Raymond William - Dominant, Residual and Emergent
Vivien Jones - Women in the 18th century (constructs of femininity)
Mary Poovy - The proper lady and the woman writer
Julia Kreiveta & Rrthur Goldhammer - Stabat Matter
Ellen Moers - Female Gothic
Frantz Fanon - Black Skin, White Masks
Collection of Essays & Authors - (concerning) Nationalism (The Question of Definition)
Edward W Said - Jane Austen & Empire

there's about 30 others, the usual suspects, orwell, tolstoy etc blah blah blah blah

i just disliked pretty much everything about Metamorphosis, the prose, writing style, the characters (Gregor was an unlikeable cunt even before he was a useless waste of space)

the family were just stupid and i think the story could have been approached and ended much better.

im guessing my translation isn't great then, however my copy of The Trial is the same translation so i'm guessing that's gonna be shit too.

Kafka does seem overrated and shitty to me anyways, what did y'all think of The Trial?
