"The Nose"

Mon Jan 1, 2007, 5:06 PM
is the weirdest piece of classical Russian literature I've ever read. It's about how this guy's nose leaves him and dresses in a suit of high rank and the guy is trying to get him back, so far unsuccessfully... Zoe started reading it to me in English once, from some book she has, so now I'm rereading it in Russian in some online library.

By the way, I'm looking for books to read, so if anyone has any recommendations... it can be classics, too. Just anything.

That is a bit weird. Does the nose become a whole person after it leaves its owner or is it still just a nose?

I'm not sure, he doesn't make it clear... that's what I was wondering.

I assume it becomes a whole person if it's wearing a suit.

Although I can sort of imagine a nose with an armless, legless suit... just, you know, a sort of jacket wrap-around thing.

Gogol's work is certainly interesting to read.
