SUMMARY
"There's more color and bounce in Guerney's translation--you can feel him having some fun with it....Guerney gets close to Gogol's vulgar folksiness by tuning in on the right levels of American diction and using words like 'persnickety,' which Pevear and Volokhonsky render as 'exactingness.'"Nikolai Gogol is the author of 'Dead Souls', published 1996 under ISBN 9780300060997 and ISBN 0300060998.
