Need somebody to explain the polyphonic novel in easy to digest terminology please. I have been reading Bakhtin for 3 days straight and surfing the web, and I think I understand the basic concepts but I need confirmation from an outside source please!

>>	Sunhawk !nZQ2xl.g.6 Mon Aug 1 11:59:26 2011 No.1977162 I don't even know what a polyphonic novel is. I'm so stupid. Worse ever than Quentin.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 1 12:11:26 2011 No.1977180 It's more or less bullshit to justify Dostoevsky being above mediocre. But Dostoevsky sucks and you could apply polyphony to most any novel.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 1 12:23:26 2011 No.1977203 >>1977180 >>1977180 I don't refute this point, however I need to understand it from both sides in order to investigate it (for an essay). Did you find it extremely difficult to understand?
