Nikolai Gogol

Unread post

I just saw the movie The Namsake. One of the characters favorite writer was Nikolai Gogol. The movie reminded me of how much I liked Gogol and how his stories influenced me, and helped me see that fiction could have a good story as well as something to say; and yet over the years I have forgotten about Gogol, I guess because no one seems to mention him. (Maybe he's just overshadowed by the other great Russian writers.)

Has anyone read Gogol recently? What did you think?

I would certainly recommend his stories, "The Nose" and "The Overcoat"
