The two year old's guide to Dostoevsky

I've read most of the abridged version. It's a combination of biography and literary analysis. The bio stuff is great, he had a wild life. The lit crit stuff is slower going and bogged me down a bit.

oh so THIS is where "Dusty Dusty Him Sad" comes from!

classic

Nice, thanks Moodles, think I'll pick it up.

!!!

been wondering for a while ...

Just started Demons the other day. First time. Majorly important writer to me on the basis of The Bros K alone, but it's been a few years since I've read any FD and I'm very much enjoying it.

sad man in him room is now an injoke between me and some of my record collector friends, used to describe a certain style of singer-songwriter music.

omg i did not know either, and now i do. but it so long past, so even now, the remembering is a kind of shame for me

Anyone read the new Katz Brothers K translation?

Demons an absolutely stunning book

My injoke with friends on singer-songwriters is saying “someone shoulda bought this bloke/lass a diary” halfway through the song. I’d say the same for dusty dusty, but he didn’t even spare us from his diary (diary of a writer, also great, well worth reading if you like dusty)
