The only difference being that most bugmen I know, while being extremely unhappy, are more unhappy with every single atom in the world than they are with the fact that they are bugmen. It'd be like if Kafka's bug woke up and starting raging against everyone for not tolerating him and simultaneously enjoying the limitations and slavery of being a bug.

What's wrong with that word, unless you're using it with the sole intent of coming off as well-read?

Read ‘Samsa in Love’ by Murakami.

It’s an inverted metamorphosis.

I only read the Trial because I've heard he didn't bother to finish any of the other books.

I like how even Borges in his time knew how nebulous comparisons to Kafka would become.
RE:Kafka and his Precursors
>"If I am not mistaken, the heterogeneous pieces I have enumerated resemble Kafka; if I am not mistaken, not all of them resemble each other. This second fact is the more significant. In each of these texts we find Kafka's idiosyncrasy to a greater or lesser degree, but if Kafka had never written a line, we would not perceive this quality; in other words, it would not exist."
