Description

A stunning graphic novel adaptation of Franz Kafka's famous story of a man who finds himself transformed into a monstrous cockroach.

"Darkly appropriate . . . Kuper's work rivals that of Art Spiegelman." – Chicago Sun-Times

Acclaimed graphic artist Peter Kuper presents a brilliant, darkly comic reimagining of Kafka's classic tale of family, alienation, and a giant bug. Kuper's electric drawings – which merge American cartooning with 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.Front Jacket
