Don't know that I'd call anything here "deep" but aside from that, an accurate summary.

so, /lit/ i have a problem

my essays have structural issues. they're more collections of observations than statements on the work. i don't usually have a single theses as the backbone of the essay unless it's a comparative study. i don't want to be a complete aspie but i also don't want to sound like a crazy hobo.

do you know of any books that can help me structure my thoughts? i don't mean one of those "here's how to do introductions and here's how to MLA guides", i'm aware of the formal requirements. i need something a bit more substantial.

Never heard of the journalism controversy? Journaling has no place in belles lettres, also, do you like being constantly manipulated by this fucking Russian into converting to Orthodoxy? Personally I dislike that intensely

>Nietzsche for one said Dostoievsky
Nietzsche was an autist that is not to be taken at face value

>So it's basically my opinion vs your opinion
Plenty of people have criticized Dostoevsky, also, you have no opinion of your own because you constantly insist in referring to others opinions like a child instead of arguing.
Also, Bloom has plenty of insightful criticism to offer if you actually read him instead of getting the redux version from your women studies professor

actually he gives about 10 descriptions of Dostoevsky which are all valid
