Just in time for winter in the Northeast -- a species of cockroach, hitherto unknown in America, that can thrive in cold weather. Well, isn't that just wonderful. One more thing to worry about in the icy streets of NYC -- rats, traffic, muggers, and now cockroaches. Kafka would be soooo pleased!
Well, news never ceases to amaze. Nature never ceases to amaze. Life never ceases to amaze.
Metamorphosis was always one of my favorite stories: Gregor Samsa I think was the name of the character, transformed into a cockroach -- story about life, prospects, fears, and realities. And of course the way people react to the changing realities of others, even their closest relatives and friends. Who is my "Gregor" -- is it some woman who has become only cruel and unthinking towards me? Is it Tina?
