>a feminist reworking of Kafka's Metamorphosis...how can you rework The Metamorphosis into any damn thing
>>7743490
with Gene Wolfe's help, all is possible.
>>7743491
Why are you doing this
Why are women so fucking annoying?
>>7743490
So does she wake up to find herself a disgusting man or somethingthat sounds kind of hot
>>7743542
She becomes a fly so she can go into the boys locker room and discover the Patriarchy or something
i'm not even joking

>At the Manhattan School for Art and Music, where everyone is “different” and everyone is “special,” Gretchen Yee feels ordinary. She’s the kind of girl who sits alone at lunch, drawing pictures of Spider-Man, so she won’t have to talk to anyone; who has a crush on Titus but won’t do anything about it; who has no one to hang out with when her best (and only real) friend Katya is busy.One day, Gretchen wishes that she could be a fly on the wall in the boys’ locker room–just to learn more about guys. What are they really like? What do they really talk about? Are they really cretins most of the time?
Doesn't sound like it has much to do with Kafka.
Also, everyone on GR shelved it as "Young Adult", so I wouldn't take this too seriously.

>Implying all of literature isn't just fan fiction of previous work
>women are annoying for doing the same shit (straight, white) men have been doing for millennia.
I hadnt really been around the cancer of modern feminism when i took a course that studied metamophosos by Mr kavka, but in hindsight i think she was a feminist and she definitely ruined that story for me. Ruin it how? She made us write essays about what (she) told us the meaning of it was. Thanks. My mind feels expanded.

Highschool or college?
Course description?
I'm intrigued anon
>>7743663
again with the "straight white men"
I see a lot of people use the phrase like the word "redditor" is used on this Avar horse archery news website
But the Metamorphosis already was about being a good for nothing parasite?

It's important to make it clear that you hate the right people.

I love it when feminists say you shouldn't comment on x topic if you aren't a pansexual genderfluid watermelon-kin naopagan because you don't have the same experiences of that oppressed minority. This rule of thumb seems to go out of the window whenever men and masculinity are being discussed.
>>7744908
power + prejudice, anon.
also neopaganism ftw :D
>>7743490
>AND THEN SHE/THEY TURNED INTO: A STRONG EMPOWERED WOMAN!
Yeah, not sure if it will work.
>>7744908
You sound like a parody.
>>7743643
>Are they really cretins most of the time
Yes.
My experience of school yard discussions would get anyone fired from their job.
>>7743643
Probably just clever marketing to get some adult to buy it.
>>7743643
I thought you were joking, holy shit that's bad.
>>7743643
So, some random chick-lit/YA that OP made some bullshit connection to Kafka for replies. Got it.
