In What Order Do You Think It’s Best To Read Dostoyevsky’s Novels?

It's so surreal to wake up after barely falling asleep, read about all the casualties caused by that russian attack at night, and literally next to that report is news of Trump once again saying that Russia is ready for peace and it's Ukraine that makes everything complicated and doesn't want to stop the war (for some reason stupid Ukrainians don't want to give up to Russia their land and people that live there, shocking).

"The children have just begun to live. We feel sorry for our country, they (russins) are killing us and no one is doing anything."

Locals have been bringing flowers and toys to the site in Kryvyi Rih since morning where children were killed in a russian attack on April 4. Nine children were killed in a russian Iskander missile strike. Six remain in hospitals, most of them in serious condition.

Honestly, one of the things that fuck me up the most about The Brothers Karamazov, is not only that Dostoyevski names Fyodor Karamazov —arguably the most vile character in the novel— after himself; but that he names this character's pure son, mr. little ray of sunshine Alyosha, the same as the son Dostoyevski lost at three years old, a loss that pained him all his life, like????? what did you meant by this sir???? does such goodness only belongs to the realm of death?? of fantasy?? Are we always to taint good works through our polluting influence? what does this mean!!!!

A quote from W. J. Leatherbarrow's book on The Brothers Karamazov that reads: "If Dostoyevsky felt guilty as a son, he felt no less so as a father. In May 1878 his beloved son Alyosha died after an epileptic seizure, a disease he inherited from his father. The author was inconsolable and his grief contributed to the tenderness with which he portrayed his young hero, Alyosha, and the other children in The Brothers Karamazov."

From W. J. Leatherbarrow's "Fyodor Dostoyevsky: The Brother's Karamazov"
