The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka [Audiobook] [Subtitles]

The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, published in 1915, is one of the most precisely constructed pieces of fiction ever written. Nothing in it is accidental. Every detail is chosen. Kafka is not vague, but exact, and that is what makes it linger.

This is a full audiobook reading of the complete original text, unabridged, in the David Wyllie translation.

One morning, Gregor Samsa wakes up and he is no longer a man. Kafka gives you that in the first sentence and never explains it. What follows is not a monster story. It is a story about a family, and what a family is actually made of when the person holding it together can no longer do so.

After the story ends, stay for a few minutes. I talk about what makes this one different from everything else on the channel — and why, despite having no eldritch gods or cursed objects, it belongs here.
