# theepitomeofsimplicite: Vladimir Nabokov’s drawings and writing on Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis.  My sister and I were just talking about Kafka and the Metamorphosis. Isn’t it funny to find it here? We then engaged to a long conversation remembering how it was to be a french high school student and the books we had to dissect. I read this one in french and german. We were telling each other which book gave us the biggest trouble to analyze. As she said this one was, actually one of my favorites ones. I said Les Contemplations de Victor Hugo was a pain. Then, she said wait a minute. We still have all the books you left behind (at our parents’ home in France). She went to fetch the book in the library and showed it to me. I said:” Yes, this five hundred pages of nightmare in which in discuss his daughter’s death and in poems. In POEMS! Who does that?!” haha Do you have any books that bring back such memories? Good or bad ones?
