Not a bad author - writer. Although not exactly a role model for upstanding human either. The novel - Notes from the Underground - is your literary gateway to thinking about the the dynamic of the "Self" rejecting the clouds of Platonism - but spending way too much time in the Cave - as a result the individual can be crushed "beneath the wheel" or make it out to the sun - but just barely. Hermann Hesse and 'Steppenwolf' running on similar themes.

this is a good question and the answer - it depends. But translation is critical to the nuances and impact of the book - e.g. Proust and translations; or Homer as another example. Sometimes can seem like a big difference - especially in the case of Dostoevsky.

the "go to" tactic in wannabe Christian (all hat - no horse) groups is to demonize some other group so as to make their dogma and orthodoxy more self-righteous and "holier-than-thou". It is revealing that such hate is found to be "extreme" in all other religions across the world, but in this country - fear-mongering and scapegoating - is de rigueur. The closer we get to Christmas - the more this will ramp up - proving that this kind of faith is not only ironic to it's core teachings, but usually demonstrates "projection" of their own flaws and biases. Jesus did a pretty good job of preaching about that - but this is overlooked in these "sermons" - and BTW - Jesus was single - not married and no kids (very non-traditional at the time) but then again compare Sermon on the Mount with the idolatry of Jesus posters carrying an AR-15 and laying waste to non-believers. Twisted ideology and in the hands of people who have lost their minds.

sometimes a cigar - is just a cigar.
