N2  - "The Guide focuses on Gogol's language in "The Nose" and his playful twisting of the many Russian idioms that are usually lost in English translations of the story.

It also presents major critical interpretations of the story and its connections to the works of Shostakovich, Kafka, Dalí and Kharms"--
