Kafka but not on the shore.
Foam of the Daze by Boris Vian is a very interesting one but kafka will do.
And i would be relieve if it was not the methamorphosis,leaving in the skin of a cockroach is a bit of a trial.ah ah

 

[Landslide]

I will suggest Kafka-The Trial.

I've checked and it's available at the library, so I'm ok with this one.

Just wanted to add that the original title of the Vian’s book is “L'écume des jours” so the right translation would be “Foam of the days”.
“Foam of the daze” is how they sell it on the Amazon. I don’t know why they translated it that way?
I have read that book some 20 years ago (I know I sound like Methuselah). I really liked it at that time and I would like to reread it.
Kafka is also OK with me. I will join you if you decide to go to the trial.
