Work
Most short stories by Kotsoyev are tragic ones. The action is often about the severe traditions of the highlanders, such as "blood revenge" (vendetta), irad (bride-money), and superstitions. Arsen Kotsoyev wrote a lot about the place for a person from traditional highland culture in the new, Europe-oriented world, and about the fate of a highlander in a larger city.
Kotsoyev also translated a lot. For example, he translated several stories by Pushkin into Ossetic.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“Bless you, of course you’re keeping me from work,
But the thing of it is, I need to be kept.
There’s work enough to do there’s always that;
But behind’s behind. The worst that you can do
Is set me back a little more behind.
I shan’t catch up in this world, anyway.
I’d rather you’d not go unless you must.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“The writing career is not a romantic one. The writer’s life may be colorful, but his work itself is rather drab.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“When you see what some girls marry, you realize how they must hate to work for a living.”
