### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A diverse menu - passion, horror, the scream
*by H***Y on March 7, 2013*

A book of many of Kafka's works, in chronological order, an anthology of his development as a writer and thinker. Metamorphosis is the main course in this menu - and what a strange and tasty dish. This is a well known tale, man becomes beetle, `the passion of Gregor Samsa' and the redemption of his family, renewed and re-engineered for a brave new future following the death and disposal of "that thing". Beyond Metamorphosis, the book largely comprises Kafka's short pieces, vignettes which can be enjoyed simply for the beauty of the prose or as confrontations to promote further discussion. Some of Kafka's prose is indeed beautiful, but much of it is also unnerving, with very long sentences that feature arguments, counters and predetermined conclusions. This is particularly so with "Josefine, the Songstress or: The Mouse People" the final piece in the book. Josefine's `piping' is examined from every perspective - saviour of the nation, cause of its destruction, good, bad, indifferent, an ever enduring presence. There is also horror in the cold, clinical self destruction of "The Penal Colony" and the psychosis (or is it hyper-reality?) of Kafka's "Unhappiness". I don't know if Kafka and Munch ever met - but it seems they were kindred spirits. From Unhappiness - "I screamed out loud, only to hear the scream which meets with no answer and which nothing can diminish in its power, so that it goes on rising without a counterbalance and cannot even stop after its sound is gone ..." Wonderful - worth reading the book to be left with that thought alone.
