 | | Nikolai Gogol's repressed homosexuality is reflected obliquely in nearly all of his works, especially in the fear of marriage that permeates his stories and plays. |
 | | Playwright, humorist, and novelist, Gogol was born on April 1, 1809, in Sorochintsy, Ukraine. |
 | | Gogol's questioning of his mother and of her older female relatives gave him the material for his novellas about a fairy-tale-like Ukraine of olden times, novellas that were collected in two volumes (1831 and 1833), with the general title Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka. |
