I have seen movies that deal with the same themes as The Metamorphosis, and am really very curious to read it. I think I might enjoy this version.

Have you read any of Kuper's other work? He's also done an interesting graphic account of his travels through Thailand with his wife. I believe it's called COMICS TRIPS.Memoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03922151273874989122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-92072624968537545572009-11-09T09:55:41.323-05:002009-11-09T09:55:41.323-05:00The minute I saw the picture I thought, what a per...The minute I saw the picture I thought, what a perfect story to re-do as a graphic novel!rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-20186833455660531192009-11-09T09:23:17.073-05:002009-11-09T09:23:17.073-05:00I'm always iffy about adaptations myself, but ...I'm always iffy about adaptations myself, but this one sounds just wonderful.
