==Synopsis==
''Kockroach'' is a re-imagining of Franz Kafka's ''the Metamorphosis'':〔('Kockroach' flips the Kafkaesque nightmare into hilarity ), by Deirdre Donahue, in ''USA Today''; published January 3, 2007; retrieved March 10, 2015〕〔〔〔(William Lashner’s Metamorphosis ), by Rob Hart, at ChuckPalahniuk.net; published March 1, 2010; retrieved March 10, 2015〕 instead of having human Gregor Samsa wake up and find that he has been transformed into an enormous insect, ''Kockroach'' begins with a cockroach waking up in a hotel room in New York City in the mid-1950s, and finding that he has been transformed into a human. Since cockroaches are "awesome coping machines" which do not possess significant capacity for angst, despair, or introspection, "Jerry Blatta" (as he becomes known) quickly learns to walk on two legs instead of six, to recognize himself in a mirror, to dress and feed himself, to ward off predators by constantly showing his teeth, to play chess, and, Chauncey Gardiner-like,〔 to fake his way through conversations. From there, he becomes a mob enforcer, then a mob boss, before venturing into politics.
