So you know how we were talking about Dostoevsky earlier


Pity this didn't fly, it's an interesting piece about one of the most important writers we have. The "Grand Inquisitor" speech is a landmark.


Dostoevsky has done pretty well on HN this year: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que....

This review piece is particularly good, though, because it goes into detail about Anna, and because it's so delightfully written.


It’s been a long while since I’ve been moved by such a writing style as this. Props to the author of the article.

Too bad the remainder of it is behind a paywall.
