Just finished reading BK, one year after IJ. Read it because of IJ and
DFW and because the Abbot told me to. Very happy that I did. Never
read Dostoevsky before. Hard to believe now. Great, great writer. And
a very important book. I can see now why people called it the great
modern book and Dostoevsky the great psychologist. But he is more than
that. I also really loved his sense of humour and playfulness as a
writer. Reminds me of DFW. It is clear to me that DFW drew heavily on
Dostoevsky and the novel itself...
