Bobok

About “Bobok”

Bobok is a short story by Fyodor Dostoevsky that first appeared in 1873 in his self-published Diary of a Writer. It consists largely of a dialogue between recently deceased occupants of graves in a cemetery, most of whom are fully conscious and retain all the features of their living personalities, overheard by a troubled writer who has lain down near the graves.
