The Death of Ivan Ilyich - Leo Tolstoy

As my mate Ben once said of Malone Dies, the title gives away the ending. This struck me as fairly minor Tolstoy, although it is apparently regarded very highly among his late works. Perhaps I am being deceived by the book’s brevity, or maybe I am right and the collective critical wisdom is full of it. Who knows?
