i think connelly’s obsessed with franz kafka’s “the metamorphosis”:
One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug. He lay on his armour-hard back and saw, as he lifted his head up a little, his brown, arched abdomen divided up into rigid bow-like sections. From this height the blanket, just about ready to slide off completely, could hardly stay in place. His numerous legs, pitifully thin in comparison to the rest of his circumference, flickered helplessly before his eyes.

‘The Metamorphosis’ is one of the best stories ever written by Kafka or any author and the opening paragraph is one of the most unique and brilliant passages ever put to paper. If Connelly is obsessed with it, he has every right to be.
(“connelly, you there? yeah me ,ed. what the hell’s up with the bug thing? WHAT? you just had a snack at the roachcoach outside reckless?
we’re prayin’ for you, man”)
