Celebrating Books and Characters

[STEPHEN PEARL]

Subhash, 
 
This sounds like the kind of thing you have in mind?
 
In one of the main squares of Ulyanovsk (formerly Simbirsk), hometown of Goncharov, there is a monument to Oblomov consisting of a life-size replica in stone of his divan and on the ground beside it a replica cast in metal of his slippers waiting in perpetuity for their owner to lower his feet into them - if he can ever summon up the energy.
 
                        Good luck!  Stephen Pearl
