About

Franz Kafka is working on his Metamorphosis, but he's suffering from writer's block; he can't get off on the right track. While trying to decide what Gregor Samsa is going to wake up as, he is constantly interrupted by door-to-door salesmen, young women, and his own inexplicable hallucinations.
