Major Kovalev's The Nose

“The Nose” is a about a man who woke up one morning without his nose only to find himself struggling about his looks rather than the bigger picture of him not having a nose. “The Rememberer” is about a girl whose boyfriend turned into different animals and she had to learn to live with the knowledge of slowly seeing her loved one transform in a state of “reverse evolution.” In “The Nose”, a man named Major Kovalev wakes up one morning to see that his nose is missing. Instead of being concerned of the actual nose being gone, he worries about what other people would think. He walked around wearing a handkerchief to ensure no one would see his missing nose. He reflected, “Thank god no one is here! Now I can look at myself again”.
