Pankenier (Russian) Russian literature has given the world some of the best stories ever told, and this course surveys two centuries' worth of them. Someone once quipped that all of twentieth-century Russian literature came out of Nikolai Gogol's ?Nose.? And so we begin with ?The Nose? and other ridiculous stories by Gogol. We will go on to read some of the finest short stories of Chekhov and the Nobel Prize winner, Ivan Bunin. The grotesque realism of Isaac Babel's stories and the magical realism of Vladimir Nabokov's also lie within the scope of this course.
