Honestly, for me it was metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a short story made by Kafka. It really showed how if a person is useless then people just discard them. How the family of the mc just threw him out because he couldn’t work or provided. It was so true that people would actually do that, even your family members that it made me cry.
The book I relate to the most also happens to be the metamorphosis! I am sorry it is one you relate to as well. My life took a catastrophic turn in my early twenties due to chronic illness, I have experienced immeasurable loss but the greatest losses have been the social losses and the loss of belonging. I first read the metamorphosis after getting sick and it was the most poignant thing I have ever read. Years late I continue to live the life of a giant vermin and I think about the metamorphosis all the time. To me it is perhaps the greatest piece of fiction because it captures such a sad, and mostly unacknowledged, truth, in such a masterful way.
if you haven’t read “Before the Law” by Kafka, you DEFINITELY should
I have not, but I will now!
