A review by assimbya
The Diary of a Madman and Other Stories: The Nose; The Carriage; The Overcoat; Taras Bulba by Andrew R. MacAndrew, Nikolai Gogol, Leon Stilman

3.0

"The Overcoat" was superb, quite equal to the short stories of Anton Chekhov, but "The Nose" and "The Carriage" felt unfinished rather than intriguing, and "Taras Bulba" most assuredly not succeed in its obvious aims. I am left with a patchy, uneven impression of Gogol's abilities as a writer.
