''Anxious Pleasures: A Novel After Kafka'' is a postmodern novel by Lance Olsen, published in 2007 by Shoemaker & Hoard (now Counterpoint). It is a work of metafiction. ==Plot & Structure== ''Anxious Pleasures'' explores intertextuality by appropriating and rewriting Franz Kafka's novella ''The Metamorphosis'', about a man named Gregor Samsa who wakes up one morning to find himself transformed into a giant insect, from the points-of-view of the until-now secondary characters. Interspersed sections relate the narrative of Margaret, a young woman reading Kafka's text for the first time (a text that, strangely, seems to evince facts contrary to those in the original, and that of a downstairs neighbor, who may be some version of Kafka himself. By focusing of viewpoints other than Samsa's, ''Anxious Pleasures'' creates a collage of perspectives that trouble the truth claims deployed by the source text, including taking for granted Samsa has undergone a metamorphosis in the first place.
