WHITE NIGHTS!!! it’s so perfect because it introduces you to dozens of Dostoevskian themes / literary techniques without like destroying you. I am always thinking about White Nights.

she said she also started with tbk
admittedly TBK was not just my first Dostoevsky but my first, like, actual attempt at reading a 19th C Russian novel. I just got my ass resolutely handed to me. if u dont know how to read those kinds of books then ur just gonna cry.
