Part one and part two have that feature of its sort of starting in a peaceful place in e room, and then gressing towards a kind of frantic and horrifying end to the part. Koka goes out of his way to describe the first time he actually gets on his feet, how wonderful it felt. I'd so part two ou have anything more say about part one? I don't, i don't think so. That that it ends in a really dramatic way to me, like, it is interesting that contrast between the beginning of part two and the end of part one. Ere jus like hollyshit. Ye, and then it just kind of calms down
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).
