Show Notes: This week, Matt and Cameron take on “The Nose,” by Nikolai Gogol. Written in 1835-6, “The Nose” tells the story of a mid-ranking St. Petersburg bureaucrat who loses his nose. The story recounts how Major Kovalyov’s nose takes on a life of its own, how he is not of high enough rank to talk to it, and, finally, how he gets it back. Major themes: Table of Ranks, Peter the Great, Magical Realism, Phallic symbolism. Buy this book with our affiliate links on Bookshop or Amazon!
