The Nose by Gogol, Nikolai Vasilevich
This is the story of a nose. No, really — it’s the story of a nose that leaves the face of an official in St. Petersburg (the Russian St. Petersburg, the one in Florida wasn’t even a proper village when Gogol was alive). The nose leaves this man’s face and wanders off to have a life of its own.
It does strange stuff, too, What’s to expect?
Seriously, it’s a nose.
In A History of Russian Literature, the critic D.S. Mirsky writes: “The Nose is a piece of sheer play, almost sheer nonsense. In it more than anywhere else Gogol displays his extraordinary magic power of making great comic art out of nothing.”
