Beschreibung

A powerful drama about two parents trying to come to terms with the disappearance of their toddler, written and first performed as an audio drama for Audible Original.
As they recount the events surrounding the disappearance of their toddler – one with a tendency to bite – two parents cope with grief in vastly different ways. While the father wrestles with feelings of guilt, the mother is convinced she's spotted the boy in frightening TV news reports… though let's just say he looks nothing like the precocious little boy they remember from a decade ago.
James Fritz's Skyscraper Lullaby is a haunting examination of the ways we cope with tragedy, complicity, and remorse. It was first produced as an audio play for Audible Original in 2022.
Verfügbar seit: 26.10.2023.
Drucklänge: 50 Seiten.

    "As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect."
    
    With one of the most famous opening lines in literary history, Franz Kafka plunges the reader into the life of Gregor Samsa, a hardworking traveling salesman who becomes a monstrous vermin overnight. But the true horror of The Metamorphosis isn't the physical transformation—it is the reaction of the world around him. As Gregor becomes a burden to the family he once supported, the story unfolds into a tragic, darkly comic, and deeply unsettling exploration of isolation and the fragile nature of human worth.
    
    The Birth of the "Kafkaesque": Kafka's narrative style creates a world that is at once mundane and nightmarish. The "Kafkaesque" experience is defined by the struggle against an illogical, bureaucratic, and uncaring power—in this case, the expectations of labor and the cold pragmatism of a family under economic stress. Gregor's transformation serves as a powerful metaphor for anyone who has ever felt "othered," discarded, or trapped by their social role.
    
    A Deeply Human Tragedy: Beyond the surreal premise lies a searing look at family dynamics. Witness the transformation of Grete, Gregor's sister, from a sympathetic caretaker to the primary advocate for his removal. The Metamorphosis challenges us to ask: If we can no longer provide value to those we love, do we still deserve their love? It is a quintessential work of 20th-century literature that remains as relevant and gut-wrenching today as the day it was written.
    
    Step into the room of Gregor Samsa. Purchase "The Metamorphosis" today and experience the ultimate story of the outsider.
