The Overcoat and Other Short Stories by Nikolai Gogol

3.0

This book was a gift from one of my café regulars. And to be completely honest, I was so happily surprised. Gogol has such a way to write about banal subjects and characters, that makes them feel magical. 

'The Nose' and 'The Overcoat' were such good short stories. I laughed so much with the first one, and the second one made me pay every bit of attention. The other two stories were a bit slow for me though. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who'd like short snappy stories, where you don't know what will happen.
