The Nose by Tom Swift

It is really hard to get ahead without a nose. And it makes things even tougher when the nose in questions is gallivanting round town, and proving a real hit with the ladies.

The Nose is the strange tale of Major Kovalyov, a civil servant whose nose has taken on a life of its own. With his love-life in tatters and his finances in free-fall, The Nose follows one man’s desperate mission to quite literally, save face. This riotous new version of Gogol’s surreal story is a satire on greed, lust and pride after a fall.
