Nabokov on Kafka

The Metamorphosis

Vladimir Nabokov, widely considered one of the world's great writers "Lolita", was also a remarkable professor at Cornell University. Here, we have Plummer as witty Nabokov, providing an entertaining insight to "The Metamorphosis", Kafka's perplexing story about a man who woke up one morning to discover that he has turned into a beetle.

One of the most widely read and studied short stories of all time, Kafka's greatest work is humorously and intensely brought to life here.
