“One of my favourite Gogol short stories. A brutal look at life, the system, and how easily someone can disappear into both. A man spends his entire life unnoticed, swallowed by bureaucracy, and when he’s gone, the world moves on without a second thought, like he was never there at all.”

About Nikolai Gogol
Nikolai Gogol (1809–1852) was a Russian short story writer, playwright and novelist born in the Ukrainian Cossack town of Sorochyntsi. Often referred to as the Father of the Golden Age of Russian Literature, Gogol was the author of the first great Russian novel, Dead Souls, 1842. He was one of the first writers to use the grotesque in his work, and the famous trope can be seen in his well-known short story, The Overcoat, 1842.
