A brilliant, darkly comic reimagining of Kafka’s classic tale of family, alienation, and a giant bug.

Acclaimed graphic artist Peter Kuper presents a kinetic illustrated adaptation of Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. Kuper’s electric drawings—where American cartooning meets German expressionism—bring Kafka’s prose to vivid life, reviving the original story’s humor and poignancy in a way that will surprise and delight readers of Kafka and graphic novels alike.

"The raw look of Kuper's scratchboard technique...sharpens the starkness and terror of the tale....[H]is style generates a visual energy that amplifies Kafka's dire meditations....[O]ffers the eye pleasures galore."

Harvey Pekar, Bookforum, Fall 2003

"In the book's best moments, Kuper lets his unerring design sense and command of visual shorthand carry the story."
