Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! The 1842 classic "Dead Souls" up for a talk today! Only the first of an unfinished trilogy due to Nikolai Gogol passing away before he could finish it. Let's talk about commerce, Russia, and Frank O'Connor's comments on "The Little Man" in regards to Chichikov in this poem. Our copy was translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky
