Metamorphosis

Picked this up at the tiny library in Sembawang, cos I couldn't find Ma Jian's Stick out your Tongue. This is my first Kafka book and it has inspired me to read more of his works. The style here is unique, having not been exposed to German writers nor writers who write in German, the precise use of words in his writing is refreshing and adds power to the story. The other short story "The Sentence" is also pretty good, though less powerful.
