Where should you start with Dostoevsky?

"I don’t understand how, up to now, an atheist could know there is no God and not kill himself at once."

What does /lit/ honestly think about Fyodor Dostoevsky? Do you think he is an excellent writer, or do you think he is praised too highly by people such as Jordan Peterson?

Who are the greatest psychologists in world literature? Who made the most realistic psychological portraits of their characters? Pic related, of course, but is there anyone comparable?

Is it true that he was an anti-semite? I have seen some people say this, but to me it doesn't make sense at all considering the themes of his works.
