C. V. Alexander is a writer and literary adapter who likes to bring classic stories to today’s readers through newly written, immersive prose. His work often addresses topics such as alienation, identity, family responsibility and the strains that can exist under everyday domestic life. The Metamorphosis is a re-telling of Franz Kafka's novel of the same name that reflects that interest, seeking to preserve the emotional and thematic core of the original novella while giving it a voice that speaks to modern readers. C. V. Alexander looks closely at the source material for each adaptation, striving to maintain all the characters, events, and results, while reconstructing the language from scratch.
