The metamorphosis, paperback/peter kuper

Acclaimed graphic artist Peter Kuper presents a brilliant, darkly comic reimagining of Kafkas classic tale of family, alienation, and a giant bug.

Kupers electric drawings--which merge American cartooning with German expressionism--bring Kafkas prose to vivid life, reviving the original storys humor and poignancy in a way that will surprise and delight readers of Kafka and graphic novels alike.

A brilliant illustrated adaptation of Franz Kafkas famous story.

Its a real pleasure to read and one in which everyone will recognize the existential drama and uncanny wit of the original text.
