I'm not sure if this question is off-topic and if so I'm sorry, but I was really curious so I couldn't help but ask. I observe that articles about Franz Kafka end up in HN front page relatively frequently. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Kafka, I read all his novels (and some of his short stories), he's one of my favorite author, so I have no problem with this. But I can't help but wonder whether there is some kind of correlation between being an HN reader and liking Kafka's works, or whether people just see the word "Kafka" and somehow think it's related to Apache Kafka [1] and upvote. Curious about what others think about this.
When it comes to the OP article:
> Vladimir Nabokov was having none of it: in his teaching copy of the novella, he drew a sketch of a common beetle.
I'm curious why Nabokov thought this would be accurate. The work itself intentionally doesn't mention what kind of "vermin" Gregor Samsa is..
