A reader sent the following letter to Franz Kafka in 1917: Dear Sir:

You have made me unhappy. I bought your “Metamorphosis” as a gift for my cousin. But she is incapable of understanding the story. My cousin gave it to her mother who doesn’t understand it either. Her mother gave the book to my other cousin who also did not find an explanation. Now they have written to me. They expect me to explain the story to them since I am the PH. D. in the family, but I am a loss to explain it.

Sir, I have spent months in the trenches exchanging blows with the Russians without batting an eyelash. But I could not stand losing my good name with my cousins. Only you can help me. You must do it since you are the one who landed me in this mess. So please tell me what my cousin should think about Metamorphosis.

Most Respectfully yours,

Dr. Siegfried Wolff

Many would agree that The Metamorphosis resists interpretation, or at least a single or literal reading. How would you explain the “story” to someone else? How would Kafka? Write a letter to Dr. Wolff in Kafka’s voice, advising him what to tell his cousin.

Read the excerpt from "home front diary." jimmy simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. he asked me if i would write to him, and i said i would. i told him that i've been writing to my uncle arthur and susan's cousin john for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent i had some advice about all the censorship. "don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said. "in my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations! ” well, he belly laughed over that one. how is the author's perspective different from jimmy's? the author has been to war and she can give jimmy advice. jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the author’s advice. the author has experience writing to soldiers but jimmy does not. jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.
