msgtdameron 's review for:
Oblomov
by Ivan Goncharov
Oblomovism is defined as indolent apathy or lazy and disinterested in working but that does not quite catch the true meaning of the word. Oblomov is not lazy in contrast he is continually working his mined in fruitless schemes that will never transpire. When he falls in love he WORKS at it. He tries to define his love but, fails. He tries to understand his love but, fails. He works and makes others work extremely hard at being in love and they all ultimately fail. He is taken for a ride but, due to his friends intervention, the plotters fail. In short to truly understand oblomovism one must read the book and see how hard the work is to be this apathethetic.
