Sabrina's review of The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol
The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol by Nikolai V. Gogol
I was in an airport in Nottingham, England with Ben filling out those "welcome to the country, now who are you?!" cards.
We get up to th police clerk and I give him my card and move off to the side. Ben hands over his card. Trouble. Police clerk (sherrif of nottingham perhaps??) says "do you think you are funny?" and proceeds to berate Ben with such ditties as "Do you want to make y our girlfriend cry, I'll send you back to France!). Turns out that Ben put "rockstar" with the a as a star symbol for his occupation.
When we were let free to leave the Nottingham airport, I asked Ben why he did that. He said he thought it was funny and was very confused why the clerk didn't enjoy the lively alteration of his daily routine. I told him I found the whole situation hilarious, predictable, completely not upsetting, and that he needs to read more Russian lit.
