I just read this novel. I mean finished it about 30 minutes ago. Now as I sit and reflect on it, im so grateful after reading him as I like all that read him benefit from his suffering. How much we can learn about ourselves from the experience of others. Now off to the idiot. Thanks for this video!
Thank you! Yes, the Joseph Frank biography/biographies are amazing and I totally recommend them. One of the images I used was of David Foster Wallace with Dostoevsky and that's actually included in an essay Wallace wrote on the biography: www.villagevoice.com/2019/07/04/feodors-guide-joseph-franks-dostoevsky/
I love Dostoyevsky for the same reasons as you. But you said it much more eloquently than I could have. I'd heard about his time in prison, more how it influenced The Idiot, his time, I believe, thinking that he would be executed and getting a last-minute reprieve... I haven't read a biography though. Thanks for this. I had plans to embark on a chronological read of all his works, but I didn't get very far. Not cuz I don't like them, just got distracted, you know.
