i can't help but think, like, seems like a happy ending to me. I don't knowi i wasn't, like, his death is sad. He was a burden man, o guy who became a bug and was living in their room. But he had also sacrificed his ye. It's almost like this kind of satisfying cause the lodgers have been dick and the fathers like, get the fuck out of my house. And which he's never had the strength to do before. They're liberated. This is the relief that sometimes comes from, you know, ie tlay.
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).
