Why read it?
1 author picked Dostoevsky in Love as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Have you ever seen the devil? Dostoevsky did. At a grand ball, he glimpsed one of the guests, tucking his tail into his trousers on the way out.
The Dostoevsky who emerges from Christofi’s biography is a haunted, conflicted, deeply flawed character.

Christofi’s book significantly increased my fascination with this extraordinary writer and human being.
