A Book Club on Kafka's 'The Metamorphosis'

Imagine you wake one day, and you are a giant cockroach. What next?

Join Teo Treloar in a discussion of one of Franz Kafka's best known novella's The Metamorphosis. For Treloar, existentialist literary texts from writers such as Kafka have deeply influenced his work. As he says

I really leant into that idea of this kind of maze-like world often reflected in existential literature – worlds that do not surprise but are illogical. In my work you can't trust the narrator or gauge whether this thing is happening, or whether it's all a psychological dreamlike process.

This book club offers the chance to immerse deeper into the worlds of both Kafka and Treloar and gain further insight into A Void A Maze.

We recommend that you read the text before the discussion.
