Story5 out of 5 stars 2
Using, or rather mimicking, traditional forms of storytelling, Gogol created stories that are complete within themselves and only tangentially connected to a meaning or moral. His work belongs to the school of invention, where each twist and turn of the narrative is a surprise unfettered by obligation to an overarching theme.

Excellent writer terrible narrator

Gogol is wonderfully creative and unique. His tales are the type that stick with you. The narrator, however, is not doing the book a favor. The voice he uses for women is screechy and very obnoxious. His voices for characters take over the story and unfortunately ruin the performance.
