There is money to be made off the dead. Nikolai Gogol knew this when he wrote his masterpiece,
Dead Souls, the story of a middle-aged man named Chichikov who buys dead serfs with the intention of mortgaging their souls for a profit. I chose to read this novel at the start of quarantine, when everyone else was reading
War and Peace. I had already read
War and Peace. It ruined my life. I wasnât keen to have my life ruined again. I wanted some other grand, sweeping Russian epic to fill my time.
