The Cockroach Tapa blanda – 8 octubre 2019
That morning, Jim Sams, clever but by no means profound, woke from uneasy dreams to find himself transformed into a giant creature.
Jim Sams has undergone a metamorphosis. In his previous life he was ignored or loathed, but in his new incarnation he is the most powerful man in Britain--and it is his mission to carry out the will of the people. Nothing must get in his way; not the opposition, nor the dissenters within his own party. Not even the rules of parliamentary democracy.
In this bitingly funny Kafkaesque satire, Ian McEwan engages with scabrous humor a very recognizable political world and turns it on its head.
Don’t miss Ian McEwan’s new novel, Lessons.

An obvious take on Brexit, McEwan reverses Gregor Samsa’s predicament in Kafka’s Metamorphis and turns a lowly, little cockroach into the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. For what end is revealed quickly enough, at least in political terms. For what underlying end is revealed only at the end, after the mission has been met with success, and it is humorous and delicious.
Throughout the book, the political situation at hand is utterly ridiulous, and McEwan deserves special praise for conjuring up such an asinine yet totally realistic situation. Well, realistic in that it involves aspects of our ordinary lives anyway, making it simple for the readers to understand the concept even if we shake our heads that anyone would be foolish enough to pursue this particular course of action.
As McEwan is excellent at doing, the descriptions are so crisp, the world described so alive, that it projects the reader into the world of the novella itself. That is what I love about his prose so much, the feeling that I am right there with the characters, totally immersed in the drama. This one is a winner.
