Amy, why did you put The Metamorphosis by Kafka for Hungary? He's a Czech writer. Is the setting in Hungary? I can't remember.

That was a while ago but I believe wiki said that Kafka was in austria-hungary (now the Czech Republic) when he wrote Metamophosis. I don't remember if I just chose one or if it came off someone else's list like that. Metamorphosis never has an actual setting other than the apartment where it happens.
