Gregorys is actually, you know, in his mind, putting together these long strings liket an apology to his boss. And the image of the father, the bes father with a newspaper and a stickjus knock him back into the room. The dog doesn't know, at least for now, that this is gre part of the family. They, i think they do think it's gregor it's under described.
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).
