Iobel answers “I want to read this book but I have some...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about Dead Souls:

I want to read this book but I have some reservations about its integrity. You know, it was a part of a bigger project of Gogol's. Could anybody tell if it ends up logically? Because I don't want to read a book undone, like Kafka's The Castle. I'm waiting for your respond, thanks in advance.

But don't let that keep you away from the book…moreThe ending will not be a full stop, because of the missing parts. A certain conclusion is never reached.
But don't let that keep you away from the book. It's a piece of the finest literature, I promise. Too bad the author went all h.a.m. and burnt the second part of the manuscript... TWICE :))))))(less)
