What an extraordinary interview with one of the greats on Russian literature, teaching us the lessons that can be learned even in our darkest hours.

For me, Dostoevsky portrayed human thinking in real time in Crime and Punishment, unlike any book I had ever read, save perhaps Charles Bukowski, in Factotum, Post Office or Women. But it isn’t a competition, and Bukowski would probably think me an idiot for making the comparison, but this is to show you where I am coming from.

Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring article, Joel.
