A review by mattreadsgoodbooks
The Crocodile by Fyodor Dostoevsky

4.0

I don’t care that it doesn’t sound anything like Dostoevsky’s normal work- this SLAPS. Because the end is abrupt and the critiques are straw man, this can’t be a 5 star, but I LOVE what Dostoevsky is saying here about the role of thinkers who have no lives outside of thinking and who glamorize fame. I recommend this to anyone who likes Satire.
