Kafka in Tangier

This was such an interesting read for me. It was unlike anything else I've read and a glimpse at a different culture than my own.

A retelling/reinterpretation of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, the book follows Jawad as he wakes and discovers he's transformed into a monster. This transformation forces him to take a critical look at his life from a personal and social standpoint.

I've never read any of Franz Kafka's works so I can't offer any sort of comparison. I found Kafka in Tangier quite interesting, though I was moderately confused throughout it. It was a new concept for me, but given the book is under 100 pages, it wasn't intimidating to pick up. It was educational for me in a lot of ways. As a story, it didn't wind up being my thing in particular, but I'm glad to have given it a go.

A huge thanks to the author for sending me a free digital copy of the book to read and review!
