The Nose by Nikolai Gogol (1836): A Review
Publication Year: 1836
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: Satire
Source: Ebook @everand_us
This story is utterly bonkers! I mean, we have a nose that sprouted legs and decided to live its best life, and the narrator is out here questioning the author's sanity! First, I was squirming at the thought of a nose stuck in a loaf of bread. But then, without any horror movie gore, I found myself bewildered by the sheer absurdity of it all!
The plot thickens as the nose, apparently better off on its own, wanders off while the Major embarks on a wild quest to find it. I followed him from one oddball location to another, feeling like I was in a bizarre reality show. Just when I thought the universe had turned upside down, it’s like nothing ever happened—and then bam, the narrator pops back in, critiquing the poor author’s mental state!
In the end, it’s as nonsensical as it is delightful! Of course, Gogol criticizes society within all this absurdity.
