Ok fine, I’ll admit it. I don’t “get” Kafka. I don’t understand what the hell he’s writing about. It’s like when I read his stuff, I know that there must be something deeper to it than “this guy turned into a bug, whoaoooao” but I don’t see it.
How the fuck do you understand what his stories are about?

lots of people can pretend that their lives are rational even when they're not
kafka's characters are forced to admit that reality is absurd, and there is no substantial difference in value or meaning or even likelihood between waking up with a hard on or waking up with an exoskeleton
