It's been many years but I remember liking it, even being moved a bit

We all know a Bazarov or two

It’s tough for me to put into words exactly why I liked it. Bazarov is a straight shooter, he seeks the truth in all things, and I think maybe Turgenev wanted people to think about the ways that they trick themselves, and how radical honesty can weigh heavily on you. T was a good writer, a smart man, and I felt I could trust him when reading.

For me, Bazarov was more concerned with sounding smart than the actual content of what he was saying

You really think so? Apparently people have had drastically different interpretations of him from the beginning and they couldn’t figure out whether Turgenev was writing in defense of nihilism or criticizing it.

Yes.

It was good. I find Turgenev is pretty enjoyable 99% of the time.

Demons is infinitely better, though

I thought it was a clear criticism of nihilism. I may have been reading what I wanted to see into it though I guess.

>>15083159
More than likely we've been one at some point.
>>15083046
Its good. Why even bother asking, just read it.

Turgenev is god-tier.

Its just Demons cliffbotes. That's probably why I liked it.
