Insect Dreams Summary
| The metamorphosis of KafkaÆs Gregor Samsa from fabric salesman to cockroach was surely one of the momentous transformations of the modern world. Now, in Marc EstrinÆs astounding debut, Gregor undergoes yet another metamorphosisùone that propels him across the rocky and often ridiculous landscape of the early twentieth century. In these continuously surprising pages, EstrinÆs Gregorùsecretly sold to a Viennese sideshow by the SamsasÆ chambermaidùcomes to sharpen his mind against those of Wittgenstein, Spengler and Einstein; dance to the crazy rhythm of American Prohibition; appear as a surprise witness at the Scopes trial; become intimately involved in Alice PaulÆs feminist movement (and with Alice Paul); encounter the KKK; and confer with FDR, and Robert Oppenheimerùand emerge from it all as the very essence of modern conscience. |
