What this short story is trying to tell us-in my humble opinion-is that even dead, human beings are capable of depravity. Because lying is needed on Earth when you're dead, why would you care, right? Anyway, their crazy conversations were a delight to read. In order to do so, they were determined to cast aside all shame and be brutally honest. That's why these dead-not-so-dead people decided to spend those months as agreeable as possible. Yes, their consciousness was active for about three, even six months until they decomposed.

So, this book is about Ivan Ivanovitch, a frustrated writer that went to a funeral of some distant relative. In old days, once a year at any rate a fool would recognize that he was a fool, but nowadays not a bit of it. The wisest of all, in my opinion, is he who can, if only once a month, call himself a fool - a faculty unheard of nowadays. He wrote major works concerning the human condition, and they all seem to have been written yesterday. Bobok is another excellent example of this writer's talent to describe people's virtues and miseries.

It's fascinating how a writer can say so much in a few pages.

Sempre imaginei que Dostoyevsky e humor fossem tipo azeite e ГЎgua! Uma caricatura surreal e divertida da sociedade russa, retratada como um grupo de Almas Fedorentas! рџ‰
