The History of Literature podcast is a member of the Podglomerate Network and LitHub Radio.

Hello, everyone.

Here we are, lots to talk about, lots to discuss, lots to explore.

We have a very special guest today here to talk about Kafka's metamorphosis.

Maybe we're going to talk about metamorphoses, in general, transformations.

Going into your shell and coming out again, caterpillars exploding into butterflies.

And Jack Wilson, your humble narrator, looking back 30 years.

To that moment when he went down this crazy path of literature, the journey begins.

The journey continues for all of us today on the History of Literature.

Okay, here we go, like I said, we have a lot going on today, where to begin.

How about this?

Our Instagram account.

I've signed up there too, or I should say I've started stopping by commenting.

There's a History of Literature podcast account that the helpful folks at the Podglomerate

maintain, and then there's me, the real Jack Wilson, with a portrait of me pretending

to look like Chekhov.

Well, actually, it is Chekhov pretending to look like Chek Wilson.

Oh, he wishes.

I'm kidding.

Of course, Chekhov can take a little humor, a little ribbing, just like our subject today,

Franz Kafka.

Put the slogan of this show, laugh your head off at one point.
