Gogol

I realize he isn't Russian, but he wrote in Russian so that's good enough for me. I cannot find Diary of a Madman at the library, does anyone happen to know if it's online somewhere? Preferably in English so I can finish it sometime before my 70th birthday.

Not Russian??? What do you mean? He is Russian...

I am pretty sure he is Ukrainian. And I've already read Dead Souls, but thank you. :)

I would really like Diary of A Madman. I guess I'll just read Revizor instead.

Try this link:

AFAIK Гоголь is normally considered russian writer, although of ukrainian origin.

Here are some works by Gogol: http://www.lib.ru/GOGOL/

I'm not sure if Diary of a Madman is there, tough.

You can read my diary if you want. I'm a mad man.

Already did. Their selection for him wasn't very wide, and Ibiblio's FTP seemed to be down at the time.

I gave up and just got a book of collected essays and correspondence from Russian authors (which hadn't been checked out since 1952--that should give you an idea of how few books there are in there and how low demand is for them :) ) while killing some time in the library.

To Kim, Scorpio and ekalin: Thanks.
