Great collection of short stories showing the existential dilemma of man... Includes Kafka's Metamorphosis and others. Was required reading in my Existential Fiction class at O.U....

This is a well-curated selection of stories. Nothing too groundbreaking, but definitely worth teaching.

Interesting collection of stories that were fun to read and thought-provoking. It would be great if an introduction of the author and some background was included with each story.
