That self-deprecating Russian humour will never fail to be endearing. For some reason, in my head, I vaguely remember The Overcoat as a story of a man's coat slowly getting worn out until it just ceases to exist anymore. Something like the Ship of Theseus. I don't know if that's another story or if my mind is playing tricks on me.

Spoiler "Yıllarca dairedeki arkadaşlarının acımasız alaylarına sabırla katlanan Akakiy Akakiyeviç bir hiç uğruna bu dünyadan sessizce göçüp gitmişti."


Başlamadan önce çok büyük bir beklentimin olmadığı bir hikayeydi Palto. Rus edebiyatına ait hikayeler bana her zaman ilginç gelmiştir. Başka bir dünyadan gelmiş gibi sanki, farklı şeyler hissettirirdi. Beklentilerimin de üstüne çıktı Palto, beş yıldız verebildiğim nadir kitaplardan biri. Akakiyeviç'in hikayesini kalbimde böylesine hissedebileceğimi tahmin edemezdim.

As funny as it is saddening, Gogol's the overcoat is a brilliant satire of the banality and cruelty of bureaucracy, and a must read for anyone with a penchant for clever social commentary.
