Franz Kafka died 100 years ago, but his work is still very much alive today in literature classes and, surprisingly, on social media.
This hour, we look at Kafka’s life and legacy, discuss the “Kafkaesque,” and investigate why the author resonates so much today.
Plus, we revisit his most famous work, “The Metamorphosis,” and talk with a zoologist about the idea of turning into an insect.
