Status Updates From Lezioni di letteratura russa

It's interesting Nabokov hated Dostoyevsky & there's something to his critique. "D was a playwright" rings true & it's definitely true D to his detriment describes appearances only the first time each character appears. So much else feels vindictive though. It's not bad that D was influenced by detective novels, nor that he used neurodivergent characters (N's worst argument), nor that some characters are ideological.
