Dosto was a degenerate pulp fiction writer who was paid by the word to fuel his insatiable gambling addiction. If you like his work you are the literary equivalent of a soccer mom picking up a harlequin romance novel in the check out line at the local super market.

pacing of this book is all over the place, but it's worth seeing through, especially if you're already in Part 3. Make sure you read "At Tikhon's" - might be in place or could be in the appendix. if you haven't read it by part 3, just read it ASAP then keep going.

Russian literature only appeals to adolescents and adults who never developed past adolescence.

>> No.20514112

dosto is just a case of extremely successful and lasting marketing (rather than writing talent). this becomes clear as people go to extreme lengths to defend his endless slogs but are like spastic children when it comes to nearly all other fiction. it's not because he's actually good, but because he's supposed to be good

How is the pacing compared to The Idiot? Cause it was a drag at many parts, but worth it in the end. I thought TBk and C&P were excellent

Not our fault you can’t read literature that makes you think and try to deduct a lesson from the book instead of having it shoved in your face. it’s good you’re trying again instead of reading the same midwit garbage you’re used to

My favorite author is faulkner and his work is much more inaccessible than what I've read from Dostoevsky. You're saying I should "deduct a lesson" as if Dostoevsky isn't shoving it in your face in this book, and the prose is as straight forward as a YA book. You're not as smart as you think you are anon.

>> No.20515519

I will admit the first time I read it I was somewhat turned off by the pacing in the first 200 or so pages, but it pays off and in the end I found the book to be extremely enjoyable and memorable, and going back, even the beginning part is nice to re-read when you have an idea of the complete picture and how it fits in. Its unfortunate the book feels a little mixed up at times due stuff having to be rewritten because of censorship, but its still quite good as is imo. I am quite fond of the characters and their journeys and perspectives, and how funny it can be, and just how emotionally engaging it is in general
