This is another work by the young Fyodor Dostoyevsky, who -- before his imprisonment in Siberia -- was trying to decide whether he was E. T. A. Hoffmann or Nikolai Gogol. Polzunkov is an extended anecdote about one Osip Mikhailich Polzunkov who narrates a story of how he tried to pull an April Fools joke on a well-respected resident of Petersburg, only to have the stunt backfire on him. Instead of being taken into the bosom of a respected family and marrying the young daughter, he is discharged from his post and forced to try his hand at borrowing money, unsuccessfully.
