Kafka, science fiction??? I don't think so.
- Why not? It makes sense to me. He certainly wasn't a genre writer, but if we are to accept Mary Shelly's Frankenstein as Science Fiction (and many do), then "The Metametamorphosis" certainly is.
- No. Shelley treated the creation of life in terms of science (as known at the time). Kafka makes no such attempt; the guy just wakes up, and he's a bug. That's the difference.
