Tonight I went to see
The Government Inspector at Calvin. There was a lobby display about the author, Nikolai Gogol. It talked about the inspirations for the play, and about his other works, and how they got more and more cynical, and that "there is no record of him ever having a lover of any kind," and...wait a minute.
How does that relate? Is that supposed to explain the increasing cynicism? Is that supposed to undermine his creative efforts?
I'm just saying. As an aspiring playwright with no past or potential lovers of any kind myself, it caught my attention.
