The Nose: A question about that end bit. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 30/06/2010 12:27:13 AM
Is that address at the end (perhaps to the reader, perhaps just a jotting down of thoughts) common to either Gogol or Russian literature of the time? It seemed a rather odd thing to find at the end of a short story of this type.

The Overcoat, while also fantastical, is easier to understand I think - 17/06/2010 03:23:11 PM 919 Views
