I need to know some books that Gregor Samsa from The Metamorphosis by Fraz Kafka would enjoy and possibly an explanation of them. They need to be from the 1920s or earlier. This is part of a project that I am needing to do, but I am having a writer's block on the subject and can't think of any of them except for Das Kapital by Marx. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks :)
Weird assignment...
maybe Ulysses by James Joyce
Les Chants de Maldoror by Comte de Lautréamont
Nadja by Andre Breton
Idk man just try some surrealist/absurdist authors
Also Das Kapital would be a good choice as well. Gregor turning into a bug (IMO) is an expression of his alienation which you can tie into Marx's theory of alienation in his critique of capitalism.
Anything by H.L. Mencken to bring out his cynical side.
The Harry Potter books.
Basically everybody loves Harry Potter.
This best not be you doing research for a fanfic.
