At the age of 12 I stumbled upon a cheapie $1 edition of The Nose at a mall bookshop. Two years later I discovered this book. The first time I was totally confused. The hell did I just read? It took me 3 reads to start understanding it. But even when it didn’t make sense, the novel still exerted this strange pull on me. It was just there in my head all the time. Couldn’t stop thinking about it. I wore out my copy from so much reading back then. There’s a lot of books I loved as a teen, but can’t fathom what the fuss was all about now. But Dead Souls has remained a favorite my whole life long.
