Is Dostoevsky good?

This book actually made me cry. I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it. Not his "best" work but I was shocked how much it made me feel.

Is there a polemic againat N.'s view of dosto written by a good literary critic?

Most of his books have like five competing plot lines wherein the 'main' plot could be expressed in a fifth of the space, so if you like that (I love it) he's good. There's a shitton of psychology in his works so you really have to immerse yourself in it

No, because any serious literary critic agrees with Nabokov.

wooah 0_0

this is not even true

What isn't true

form what i've read, there really aren't 5 plot lines

Yeah, that book got my heart rate up a few times. It also was one of the few books to ever make me cry.

the best

I cant think of no other major classic writer that is more relevant nowadays
