Ahh, so you've noticed that I still hadn't read any Gogol, despite a-hundred-some readings including enough of a Russian contingency to keep a stronghold on the world weight-lifting championships for the next few centuries, and despite a story by an Italian all about Gogol, in its own peculiar way.
The truth is, I haven't yet read Gogol for only one reason, though it's a valid one: I fear if I started, I wouldn't be able to stop. Gogol is that close to the cuffs. And much as I love him, this is not Gogol' podcast. It's Miette's.
But you're right. Gogol should be here, so here it will be. And it's long, long enough that my throat hurts, long in the hope that thirst for Gogolic podcasting might be quenchable. I suppose we'll find out soon enough. After all, I'm the King of Spain.
