Good choice, Nabokov placed Kafka's Metamorphosis second only to Ulysses as a 20th century novel (as of 1965): http://lib.ru/NABOKOW/Inter05.txt http://lib.ru/NABOKOW/Inter05.txt My greatest masterpieces of twentieth century prose are, in this order: Joyce's Ulysses, Kafka's Transformation, Biely's Petersburg, and the first half of Proust's fairy tale In Search of Lost Time.
