Ha! (laughing) Yes, the title is Metamorphosis. The critter he is transformed into is often translated as “cockroach” although it’s actually rather vague in the German. Anyway, I haven’t read it in decades. All that Existentialist stuff I had to read back then was so depressing and weird, I never want to revisit it. Anyway, I always thought of it as “The Cockroach” and have the same aversion to Existentialist Lit as to those nasty bugs lol.
