how is this socio-economic satire both comedic yet tragic at the same time! I don't know if I should cry or laugh.

Incredibly funny. 5/5. I need Nikolai Gogol to narrate my life in great detail.

100% recommend this book to anyone even remotely interested in Russian literature. Gogol has a fantastic way of pulling the rug from under you when you least expect it. He was incredibly funny and an absolute pleasure to read
