Discovering Russian Literature discussion

I finally started the short story schedule. Most of these stories available online so you can read them separately from the collection. The discussion will take place once every two weeks and everyone is welcome to join in on the discussions and please do so. I love to have new insights and a good debates!

I thought of starting off with Gogol's "The Overcoat." Thought it's more appropriate since many critics introduce this as the greatest story in the Russian language and Dostoyevsky himself said, "We all come out from Gogol's 'Overcoat'."
