Reading Log: Metamorphosis and Other Stories

[Last Updated: 2025.01.01]
I stopped reading Metamorphosis and Other Stories by Franz Kafka ; translated by Michael Hofmann. [ Paused at 35% ] 📚
Stopped after the 1912 stories and “The Stoker” because I meant to jump over to Amerika next, but then I read other things and continue to want to read other things. I do intend to still come back to this, though. I should put entries for the individual first edition published pieces I did read so at least it they come up on my reading log gallery…

I read A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger again. 📚
Read aloud with my son at bedtime some nights. We both really enjoyed it; hope for more with these characters and/or in this world.

I read Parasol Against the Axe by Helen Oyeyemi. 📚
Orlando vibes, Kafka vibes, fun weirdness vibes. I will likely be reading more of Oyeyemi, and the other writers she mentions in interviews (linked after the “more” jump.)

I read Mid-Air by Alicia D. Williams. 📚
(I guess I put everything in the genre tag now, feels less auspicious.)

Read the first half of this in one day about a month ago - not sure why I let it slip, but now I’m back to it and finishing it. Need to buy a copy of it.

Fipps has mastered the novel as an empathy-building machine, for sure.
