Iv, thought it was he had been under the impression that his father had retained nothing at all of his former firm's holdings. And admittedly, gregor had never asked him about this. They never talked about it. I think this is a key passage. The exchange no longer felt particularly warm. At first, it was like, oh, you're saving us, ggreg. But now it didn't. Only gGregor's sister remained close to him and she could play the violin quite movingly. It was his secret plan to send her off to study at the conservatory next year. Unlike g Gregor, she dearly loved music and couldplay the violin very well.
David and Tamler try to control their emotions (with varying success) as they go deep into Franz Kafka's masterful novella "The Metamorphosis." What kind of a story is this? A Marxist or religious allegory? A work of weird fiction? A family drama? A dark comedy? Why does a story about a man who turns into a giant insect get under our skins so much?
Plus a study that links insomnia to our fear of death. What a cheerful summer episode! (Actually we're fairly proud of this one... As always we suggest reading the text before you listen or soon after).
