The secret of transformation
" Sit down and write. It's that simple. And this simplicity torments him day and night. "
The Kafkas' mood is cheerful. The mother is pleased that her son has gained weight in the sanatorium, and the father enjoys reading his inspection reports from the family's asbestos factory.
Meanwhile, Franz fulfills his parents' expectations in an exemplary manner, but his thoughts revolve solely around his own writing. Yet he would rather not think about it, as he senses that he is failing even more in this than in his role as a son.
Visits to brothels with Max provide the much-needed distraction. He now wants to invite his cousin from Berlin, a certain Felice. A refreshingly different perspective on Kafka's "Metamorphosis."
