Methamorphosis (by Kafka) - a man transformed into a Roach

[RaZias]

I think everyone knows the writer Kafka and this is the wikipedia article about the story of someone transformed into a human sized roach:

For a nice, short and fast explanation of the story see this link:

Had to read it for a German lit class. Enjoyed it. Found myself sympathizing with Gregor. However, it does seem to perpetuate the belief that roaches are the most vile of creatures, and we all know that the only the opposite is true.

I also remember Kafka making a few a errors on cockroach morphology, but he was a flawed writer—not a cockroach enthusiast. I may have to find my old copy and reread.
