I believe that, normally, novels cannot be finished…Russian literature…struggles to comprehend the world, and the world has no end..[Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky]…A novel can come to an end, but it has no ending…Pushkin couldn’t finish Onegin. It got swept up in history. History can extend the novel just as it can obstruct it.
