Was he a homo?
Who cares? But I know he's weird af.
Really enjoyed his short stories: he knows how to use supernatural/nonsense themes, as can be seen in The Portrait; The Nose; and The Overcoat.
Plsssss, who would think about creating a story in which a person finds a nose inside a bread???????? Gogol is a genius.
Also
that thread is being a remider in order I read Dead Souls. Just read a few pages and liked.

Probably not. He didn't seem like a degenerate.

A Romo?
>>9330169
No, just a tiddile-winckle-tickler
He had his writing shit together tho. Dead Souls reads like a modern novel.
I know that he used to talk to Pushkin. Pushkin even inspired him to write Dead Souls.

i dunno, but he's a great fucking writer
very funny and colorful in imagery and story telling.
i really enjoy reading his short stories, they're awesome.
classic feel with an enjoyable sense of humor to go with it.
he's one of my favorites.
He starved himself to death, fucking painful.
