Tolstoy was quite fond of dostoevsky, upon learning of his death he said
>I’ve never seen this man and never had any relations with him, and all of a sudden, when he died, I understood that this was the closest, the dearest man for me, the man whose presence I needed the most… I considered him a friend, and had no doubt that we’ll see each other someday…

>When he died, I understood that he was such a very kindred, dear and necessary person to me. I was a man of letters, and men of letters are all vain, jealous, I at least was that kind of man of letters. But never did it enter my head to compare myself to him, never. All that he did (what he did that was good and real) was such that the more he did, the better it was for me. Art arouses envy in me, intellect does, too, but matters of the heart [arouse] only joy. I thus considered him my friend and never imagined that we wouldn't meet. And suddenly, over dinner [...] I read that he is dead. Some kind of support was taken away from under me. I fell apart, and at that point it became clear how dear he was to me and I wept and I weep still."

Tolstoy was very fond of him

Dostoevsky by a Kentucky mile. Not even close.
How do I know this? Well it's simple. It comes down to a question of dialogue vs description.
For example, you could have write
>he greeted her warmly
Or you could write the dialogue
>"it's nice to see you again"

Writing believable, compelling dialogue is hard. It requires years of practice and perhaps a degree of natural talent.
Descriptive writing, on the other hand, is relatively easy. We describe things all the time in our day-to-day lives.
War and Peace contains almost no dialogue. This shows a lack of confidence. Tolstoy knew he was incapable of writing good dialogue for his characters.
Dostoevsky's books are chock full of dialogue and demonstrate a mastery of art.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jan 14 13:15:33 2022 No.19745720 >>19745648 >>"it's nice to see you again that's not necessarily 'warm' dialogue. context. context comes through description, not dialogue. maybe you should just watch a movie instead.

>maybe you should just watch a movie instead
No movies are for showing, not telling. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then imagine how much a movie must be worth.
Now count how many of those words are dialogue and you understand that most of the information from a movie is conveyed through visual description.
In literature, description should provide context as you say. It should be the backdrop for the main event, dialogue.
