Guess the author

It was then that she noticed the protuberance pushing out the lower part of his gown.

“What the hell is that?” she said stonily. “What’s that bulge doing there?”

Samsa looked down at the front of his gown. His organ was really very swollen. He could surmise from her tone that its condition was somehow inappropriate.

“I get it,” she spat out. “You’re wondering what it would be like to fuck a hunchback, aren’t you?”

“Fuck?” he said. One more word he couldn’t place.

“You imagine that, since a hunchback is bent at the waist, you can just take her from the rear with no problem, right?” the woman said. “Believe me, there are lots of perverts like you around, who seem to think that we’ll let you do what you want because we’re hunchbacks. Well, think again, buster. We’re not that easy!”

It's clearly written like the narrator is trying to write a novel rather than a practical account of what happened to him.

Three years prior the thought of sitting around with a group of friends, having drinks, and being able to express himself freely would have seemed like something supernatural to Ralph. Ralph wasn’t naturally a pariah by disposition, but he had found himself in a string of unfavorable social situations until recently. This was not mitigated by understanding parents, but here he sat in spite of it all having a drink, a Founders Breakfast Stout, and debating about great films.
“You can’t tell me that de Sica is better than Rossellini or Fellini. I mean Bicycle Thieves was great and Umberto D. is precious, but everything else is such a bore. Miracle in Milan was alright I suppose, come on.”
“Miracle in Milan was much better than alright first of all, and I’m not saying he’s better than them. I’m just saying he’s a great Italian filmmaker, Bertolucci, Antoinini, and Visconti too,” said Dylan.
“Well nobody would deny that, and the two reconciled.”
“Umberto D. was great though, the hospital scenes, how many movies have the courage to say that about life, that injustice is inherent… we find happiness in spite of it all, we need nothing. Nowadays it’s all race and an inability to accept injustice, well life is kind of shit. Take Killer of Sheep for instance, that’s cinema, but nobody cares if it’s not representation then it’s some bullshit shit flick about capes and cars and just billions of dollars of action. I was watching The Wonder Years yesterday and felt sick, like I was reliving my childhood through that show. What happened to friendship? To actual family, to everything? We just live and we die, it’s always more we want, but maybe right now is okay, maybe my blanket folded like that is enough? And you know I say all this with my sermons and the other bullshit that props into my head, but how much do I mean it? Ah, oh well,” interjected Jack.
“Just keep drinking this is great, the beers, the boys, a week done of classes, life is great,” Ralph said and swigged a gulp of beer and there they were in Jeff’s dorm room. The three of them Jack, Dylan, and Ralph sitting on the chairs, and Ralph on the corner of his bed. He spoke:
“I wish I went to the deli.”
“We warned you, but you wanted to be sentimental today, how was the therapist, you make any break-throughs?” said Jack facetiously.
“Thusssssss Spoke Zarathustra,” interjected Dylan sonorously.

“Nah I just bitched like a dog for 50 minutes, I doubt I’ll go back, not worth missing that Friday nap and sandwich. Maybe I’ll get a cookie and coffee too.” What a life.
“The night is young my boys, I’ll call the uber around 8, we should get there a bit early.”
“Show’s at 9 and the ladies are at 10, can’t wait.”
“Fuck women, who gives a shit man it’s just about the night not the end. I dread the second I get back and crawl into my bed living to regret it all tomorrow.”
“Man, you gotta be more honest you can’t regret that shit. Outgrow it, you’re showing your true self in some sense. I don’t know, I have two layers of drunkenness, my mawkishness, then my disdain.”
“Your disdain,” said Jack skeptically.
“Yeah that’s right, I’m no better than the Underground man…. and with that allow me the pleasure of having my second beer.”
The beers were in the mini-fridge which is generally set at 4 on the white-turnstile on the side that aimed at controlling the temperature, but today it was set upon 5 giving the beers a more desirable chill.
