Kafka’s 1915 Metamorphosis was a long short story, with an unhappy beginning, middle, and end.In Kafka’s Roach, Estrin (along with the Samsa’s housemaid) has rescued Gregor from his dusty death under a couch in Prague, schooled him at a Viennese sideshow, and impelled him over the Atlantic to take a crucial role in American history in the twenties, thi...
