I've known this tale for a few months now but never got around to read it. Today I decided to take a few moments and take the time to read it. It is certainly a very funny short-story. I would recommend it to everyone without a doubt.
This is, without a doubt, the strangest story I've ever read. Ever.
Not the edition that I read, but that edition isn't in Goodreads yet, so there you go. :)
Odd. Quite odd, indeed.

Amusing tale about a haughty guy who's nose gives him a bit of a snub by going on a walkabout (appearing in couture of a higher social rank, refusing to get back on his face). Was a fun little ride, but I'm not entirely sure why I HAD to read it before I died.
