A Disgraceful Affair: Stories by Fyodor Dostoevsky

4.0

Each of the three stories included concerns a solitary man with unusual impulses. Such impulses are exciting to read about but terrifying to experience . . . . Perhaps this explains part of Dostoyevsky's popularity. It's exciting to read about the irrational but . . . . Then again, maybe we read Dostoyevsky because we find someone who writes about what we (those of us who are always stuggling to control our irrational impulses) are so terrified to publicly discuss.

The extra story was alright, though written in a style antithetical to Dostoyevsky's own.
