As luck would have it the person at my local library who had a hold on this forfeited the hold so it's mine for 3 weeks.

Want a very brief review?

This should be taught in junior/senior levels of high school (particularly for gifted students in honors or AP lit classes) and on that note definitely in college.

I will retract that opinion if this suddenly becomes grossly vulgar or violent in the 36% I have left.

Unfortunately I can't renew my library e-book loan so I'll have to wait a couple weeks to re-rent! (How are there not unlimited copies of EBOOKS!?)

Shockingly modern. Surprisingly emotional. Interesting characters.

For all of Tolstoy's (slightly) disappointing moments Turgenev, Chekhov, Gogol, and of course Dostoevsky have more than compensated for OG Russian Lit.

I might buy some Turgenev books for Christmas!

Chekhov meets Kafka

THIS is peak classical Russian literature. Better than Tolstoy so far in fact it's 5 stars so far... just an incredibly compelling book.
