Is there a good analysis of this book because I know I missed a majority of themes and ideas. Easily the hardest to read Russian book

>> No.10378914

How the fuck is this your reaction to finishing this book? I think Wittgenstein is more your style...

Isn't the foreword an analysis? I remember not reading the foreword because it said "Warning to first time readers; this foreword discusses analysis of the plot and themes" or something like that.

I thought some parts were great but I just struggled a lot more than any other Russian book I've read and more than most books in general.

Tell me how long did it take you to learn, Russian, Greek, Italian, Spanish & Latin?

It's also hard to read in Russian, intentionally so. Not just because of the ravings of a braindead bureaucrat, but because it is mostly composed of tangentially connected phrases whose rhythm doesn't match.
