Should an author be responsible for the well-being of his readers? “You have made me unhappy,” a reader turns to Franz Kafka seeking advice in view of his story “The Metamorphosis”, many years – and a world war – after its publication in 1912. The reader had bought the “Metamorphosis” from his cousins, They didn’t understand it and he should explain the story to them. “But I’m at a loss, sir! I’ve spent months fighting in the trenches with the Russians and haven’t batted an eyelid. But if my reputation with my cousins went to hell, I wouldn’t be able to bear it. Only you can help me. You have to “It; because you spoiled the mess for me. So please tell me what my cousin is thinking about the transformation. With the utmost respect, Dr. Siegfried Wolff.”
