Episode 169: A Bug's Life (Kafka's "The Metamorphosis") - a podcast by Tamler Sommers & David Pizarro

David and Tamler try to control their emotions (with varying success) as they go deep into Franz Kafka's masterful novella "The Metamorphosis." What kind of a story is this? A Marxist or religious allegory? A work of weird fiction? A family drama? A dark comedy? Why does a story about a man who turns into a giant insect get under our skins so much?
Plus a study that links insomnia to our fear of death. What a cheerful summer episode! (Actually we're fairly proud of this one... As always we suggest reading the text before you listen or soon after).This episode brought to you by Prolific.co (http://www.prolific.co/verybadwizards), and by the support of our listeners.
