Domani: Quanta vitalità in quell’insetto: Kafka e le sue metamorfosi interiori

Nel lungo momento delle prime cinque pagine della Metamorfosi, in cui Gregor si sforza di credere che quel risveglio faccia ancora parte del sogno, e che basti riaddormentarsi perché tutti torni come prima, avviene un vero e proprio rito di passaggio: non è più un sogno, l’insetto è diventato lui, la letteratura lo ha (letteralmente) invaso

How much vitality in that insect: Kafka and his inner metamorphoses.

In the long passage of the first five pages of The Metamorphosis, in which Gregor struggles to believe that this awakening is still part of the dream, and that simply falling back asleep will make everything return to normal, a true rite of passage occurs: it is no longer a dream, the insect has become him, the literature has (literally) invaded him.

“Are you Japonica or Americana or maybe Fuliginosa?” asked the Silverfish. “You’re big enough to be Surinamensis.”

“Pardon,” I said. “I’m Gregor Samsa.”

“With that accent, definitely Germanica.”

“Hello, Gegor Blattella.”

“No, Samsa.”

“Sorry, Samusu-san.”

This was a confusing conversation. “What are talking about?” I asked.

“If you climb the dresser, you can see in the mirror.” The silverfish said, waving its antenna at a tall brown pole.

“I can’t climb that!”

“Try.”

It was easier than it looked and once on top, I looked in the mirror.

“I’m a cockroach!”

“Germanica,” the silverfish added.

“Haven’t you read ‘The Metamorphosis.’”
