A MASTERPIECE! MY HATS DOWN TO KAFKA! TWO THUMBS UP! The life of Gregor Samsa has a strong resemblance to the plight of the Deaf community in terms of alienation and marginalization. A highly recommended to everyone!

    I would like to know if anyone has an idea about the connections between this Metamorphosis and the classic.
