“As young Roger McGillicutty awoke one morning from uneasy dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. Aw, jeez! he thought.”
These are the first sentences of the hilarious middle grade novel, ROGER MANTIS: The Remarkable Metamorphosis of Roger McGillicutty by Tom Alan Brosz. If they sound familiar, they should! The inspiration from these lines comes from the famous opening line of The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.
What is your favorite opening line in a novel?
Tom Alan Brosz’s favorites are:
“There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.” —The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis
“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.” —1984 by George Orwell
“The sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel.” —Neuromancer by William Gibson.
Want to read more about the transformation of Roger McGillicutty? Pick up a copy of ROGER MANTIS: The Remarkable Metamorphosis of Roger McGillicutty at Amazon, B&N, or Indiebound.
