This is not really off-topic since Gogol was an influence for Frank O'Connor. I found The Overcoat and other selected Short Stories in the MR library. I was struck by this line in the description by Roy White, who posted the book:

Quote:
The Overcoat is his best known and spawned the phrase, "We all came out of Gogol's Overcoat" attributed to Dostoevsky.
Edit: Not a good copy since there are no paragraph indents. I bought the Dover Thrift Editon at Kobo using the 50dec code for $1.75. The superior translation is worth the money.
