The Weiss family are an archetypical Hollywood dynasty - Dr Stafford Weiss is a psychotherapist whose self-help books have made him a fortune. His wife Cristina is the overbearing mom-ager of their thirteen-year old son, Benjie, a prodigious child star fresh out of drug rehab, and their estranged daughter Agatha has recently been released from a psychiatric hospital. Agatha is now back in Hollywood making friends with a wannabe actor named Jerome, and has landed a new job as PA to one of Stafford’s clients - the neurotic and tempestuous actress Havana Segrand, whose dream of reprising her dead mother’s starring role from the 1960s is beginning to haunt her.
Franz Kafka s 1915 novella of unexplained horror and nightmarish transformation became a worldwide classic and remains a century later one of the most widely read works of fiction in the world. It is the story of traveling salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a monstrous insect. This hugely influential work inspired George Orwell, Albert Camus, Jorge Louis Borges, and Ray Bradbury, while continuing to unsettle millions of readers. In her new translation of Kafka s masterpiece, Susan Bernofsky strives to capture both the humor and the humanity in this macabre tale, underscoring the ways in which Gregor Samsa s grotesque metamorphosis is just the physical manifestation of his longstanding spiritual impoverishment."
