This was another book i was forced to get through for a seminar I attended (Kafka’s Metamorphosis). I had a presentation on this book and that was the only way I got through it. It is one of those books where you are happy you finished it, as it deals with lots of important topics and it really forces you to face the privilege we so often take for granted. There is so much to unpack and you probably could discuss the many reasons this book is important but the entire reading experience is surreal, highly uncomfortable, quite disturbing and disgusting at times and overall not really what I wanted or planned on picking up. However, that is exactly what I like about my studies, they push me to try new things, work through it and come out on top (well, this is debatable but still).

Even though i complained the entire two days I read it (i was in a hurry, otherwise it would have taken me AGES to get through), I am somewhat glad I did it. It is  the kind of ‘worldly-book’ you can start a discussion on and even though these type of books are not the easiest to get through, reading can be more than just happy, comfort and ease, especially considering my field of study and where I want to end up. This is not the case for all readers!!

Somewhat begrudgingly….3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
