Gogol
Earlier this week I was skiing in Park City when I happened to ride a lift with a Ukranian man. We got into a conversation on the relative absence of any mention of a separate Ukranian identity in the traditionally recognized corpus of Russian literature. Gogol entered the conversation and he mentioned how "Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka" was full of Ukrainian folk stories. I have been looking everywhere but I cannot find an electronic copy of the book. Unfortunately, when I get it in my head to get a book it drives me crazy to not be able to find it. Can any of you help?
