abstract = {The article discusses Philip Roth’s The Breast, Micheal Bishop’s “Rogue Tomato” and Brian Aldiss’s “Better Morphosis” as adaptations of Franz Kafka’s “The Metamorphosis.” It is argued that Franz Kafka not only had a significant influence on science fiction but is also a legitimate part of science fiction understood as “cognitive estrangement” (Suvin 1972), and that this definition of science fiction is also perfectly applicable to Philip Roth’s novella The Breast. The article discusses different strategies that the authors use in order to exploit the comic potential of Kafka’s story and various thematic variations of the paradigm established by Kafka.},
