Kafka's Metamorphosis is called a major work of literature. Why? If it's SF it's bad SF. If, like Animal Farm, it's an allegory, an allegory of what? Scholarly answers range from pretentious Freudian to far-fetched feminist. I don't get it. Where are the Emperor's clothes?
I have always been an atheist (I do pray to Shiva constantly and no one can stop me) and I find the entire new atheist movement to be an odious gang of assholes and grifters.
