kraelwake 's review for:
Dead Souls
by Nikolai Gogol
Much enjoyed this and wish that Gogol had left the rest for us to enjoy. What a talent for humor, Gogol had. I agree with those who say it's a little dark, but I can't remember the last time I laughed so much while reading a book. And the humor is very clever, unexpected. I love that Dead Souls is satirical without beating the reader over the head with irony. It's just the right blend of absurdity and subtlety. And the ventures into transcendent prose are really beautiful. Well worth the time I put into reading.
