“Dostoevsky à la Gogol.” This could be the subtitle of the two satirical stories in this edition, which Fyodor Mikhailovich writes, as he himself admits, imitating the style of the author of The Nose and The Diary of a Madman.
The result? Hilarious dialogues, unbelievable situations, grotesque realism – and a literary scandal, with Dostoevsky accused of crossing the boundaries of satire.
Through his beloved character from the Greek audience, the Crocodile, and the masterful Bobok, the author, along with the mockery of morals and mentalities, also expresses metaphysical concerns about life beyond and within the grave, presenting us with the absurd side of the Dostoevskian (anti)hero.
