    I requested the actual book, but the library messed up and sent me what appeared to them as a creatively covered copy of The Metamorphosis. The artist, Peter Kuper, is the man behind Spy vs. Spy, and the art style in this book is immensely well-suited. One thing I dislike is the lack of any ambiguity as to the transformation, although the absurdist bent is well-maintained, and the rendering of the tenants was hilarious to me.

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.
