Imanuha’s Reviews > The Death of Ivan Ilych > Status Update

When I read the beginning of the book, judging from the characters’ reactions to Ivan’s death, all I could interpret was that Ivan was dead, and everyone was eager to know how his death could benefit them. For some, it was about job positions and promotions, while for Ivan’s wife, it was about the financial benefit. It made me sad. No one seemed truly grieving. Interested to understand the book further.
