Lectures on Russian Literature

Vladimir Nabokov

Nabokov about Dostoevsky: "I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place.”” –Vladimir Nabokov, from Lectures on Russian Literature

Ok, I'm currently alternating re-watching a wonderful 1979 adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca (starring the delectable Jeremy Brett and Johanna David) & an old favourite kdrama #FatedtoLoveYou (You're My Destiny). Somehow those two stories work together beautifully.

I finished The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky a few days ago, staying up late to resolve the tale of Prince Myshkin. Why did I procrastinate in scribbling this Twitter review? Must’ve been the absolute panic of doing justice to this beautiful, messy, gorgeous novel. I was blown away! https://t.co/IkeBUsqQZ2
