    If I am allowed to express my personal opinion: Dostoevsky is one of the most overestimated writers of all time. Really D.? What can one say about Alyosha's theological discussions with a 13 year old boy? What can one think about the ending of Brothers Karamazov, where Alyosha together with some pre-adolescent children (!) are all together cheerfully happy as they celebrate... the coming of the Last Judgement Day!... Seriously? Is this suppose to be good literature? Even a believer reader should have enormous problems with such a literary, such an artistic solution, which is not. In Dostoevsky we find always the following concept: All "good" guys get to be rewarded and all "bad" guys either commit suicide or go to prison or get crazy. Ivan Karamazov, the one that could have saved Dmitri's - his brother's - life, gets crazy one day before the court! And why? Because he is the "atheist" of the novel! Is there anything more p r e d i c t a b l e in whole literature? Do we want our literature to be predictable in that silly way? How can a healthy human mind accept this forced and totally disgusting solution? And this novel is considered from many, many, many "serious" people that read (do they actually read?) serious literature as "the best novel ever written". H o l y cow! After having read Dostoevsky's works again and again I have come to this conclusion: He is the most horrible, boring and kitsch author out there. Not even his language has anything to offer! And although I don't agree with every single critical opinion Nabokov expressed for a number of authors, I totally agree with his opinion on Dostoevsky. There are so many writers out there that are... writers! D. is at least mediocre. And please, for all of you reading this comment and thinking that I am crazy: Read D. anew; don't let yourself repeating "what the world is saying". Shape your own opinion.

    i always imagined this aleph story came via an actual crazy writer borges knew and he maybe thought, hmm, what if his nonsense did make profound sense, i could write a story about that. haha. so one theme is do not underestimate the crazies, at least for inspiration. i dk if any of that is true, but i feel like it could be. also, it reminds me of another example of being moved by crazy -- the rem song life and how to live it, which was inspired by a nutty guy in athens, georgia named brivs mekis and a weird tome he wrote.

    I think in his mediocrity he was a hero for me. A story that didn't necessarily warrant being written and yet it definitely needs to exist. I also loved the pacing of the book, sometimes skipping past multiple years and yet I didn't feel like the book trying to progress just to progress. For me, Stoner was a hero because he found a life that HE thought was worth living and fully engaged in that life. His marriage with Edith is tragic though, but so beautifully written. One of my favorite books of all time so far.

    • @anielizaveta
      @anielizaveta ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! This is beautifully put - thank you! I agree with you wholeheartedly about the pacing. Somehow Williams managed to make even the skipping a gentle one for the reader. Curious, have you read any of his other works and if so, did they become favorites, too?

      @@anielizaveta I have not yet no. I picked up Stoner only recently, randomly from the second-hand book store near my house because I saw another author I enjoy (Belgian Psychiatrist Dirk De Wachter) mention it. I'm quite intrigued because of Stoner though and am definitely going to keep an eye out for more of his work. Apparently, or so I've heard, some of his other books are completely different in terms of subject material, to the extent of some things doubting whether it is actually the same author or not.

    Just finished Part 1 and I am amazed at the pace of the plot. It almost leaves you breathless. I also find it is not something to be read over many weeks as the plot is so deep and layered, that you'll miss some of the nuance. I am one of three brothers myself and there are distinct similarities between us three and these three. I am 2/3 Alyosha and 1/3 Ivan. I also find it surprising how intricate, and rich the female characters are. The sub plot of Fyodor, Lizaveta and her son, the cook (I forget his name now) was so believable and shocking at same time. This is my fourth Dostoyevsky and Eternal Husband is a favorite, but I suspect the Brothers are going to be up there as well

What comes to mind with the book is the revealing of truths, often reflections in art or music. The description was so indepth in parts and with the inclusion of comparison to particular paintings, I was transported to the very place at the very time with the very people. Also, there is a lot of humour, some of which is self-aware on the part of Proust, in the book. I loved it.

    I buy japanese paper and use my paper cutter to cut pieces just smaller that the height and width is the text I'm reading. I then use a glue stick to apply a light coating off glue to the spine of the folded sheet of japanese paper. This gives me four blank pages of very thin paper to write on that become a permanent part of the text. Books are like paths. Read books that are worthy of multiple readings as a path is enjoyable to walk along multiple times.

    My personal favorites of Borges’ short stories are “Funes the Memorious,” “The Immortal” and “The God’s Script.” Discovering Borges for the first time is quite the experience. Little by little you are led towards the learning of his own private literary language and his parables start making more sense. He’s an extraordinarily prose writer.

    Ani, you should read Juan Rulfo, one of the pioneers of Magical Realism. He was one of Gabriel Garcia Marquez' major influences. 🔥🖤🔥
