Discussing "Dead Souls by Gogol" by Gogl

Hi all you readaholics!

For our third great Russian novel to read and discuss we voted on "Heart of a Dog" by Bulgakov.

We'll have a discussion around the following 3 questions:

• Is Chichikov a villain, a fool, or a mirror of everyone else?
• What makes this novel funny — and what makes its humor disturbing?
• Is ‘Dead Souls’ ultimately about death, or about the emptiness of life?

So the satire hits harder, I've provided the relevant cultural context in this doc.

If you think a lively discussion around "Dead Souls" sounds fun, please join us, even if you haven't attended any of the other events
