If any of our listeners actually want to go to it, you can go to b work stock hom slash summit. You get a ten % discount if you put wizards a into the check out code. But also, if you want to see me t in september, if you are at all inclined to go to that sort of thing, come trick it out. All right. So franz kovga, we've had a bunch of requests to do a story by him. It's about a young man who sacrifices himself forh father, mother and sister. He works this mind numbing, soul crushing job because of his father's debt from a failed business.
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).
This episode brought to you by Prolific.co, and by the support of our listeners.
