 The Idiot, Constant Reader Discussion
Dostoyevsky's conflicts with his father had been reaching a peak just before he died and it was said that D felt a great deal of guilt about his death, that he was particularly shocked by the manner of it.
Dostoyevsky seems to believe in the basic goodness of man; I keep going back to Lebedyev's story of the 13th century cannibal who felt compelled to confess his sin, or Ippolit's act of kindness toward the doctor, an act performed by a dying man for a complete stranger for absolutely no reason.
What Dostoyevsky condemns is not people themselves, but a society which encourages hypocrisy, which encourages people to go against their own natures in a pursuit of materialistic, unspiritual goals.

 "Memoirs of Muse" by Lara Vapnyar
Dostoyevsky was fixed in my imagination as a dead writer who had different eyes and a nice wife until I turned ten and my grandmother had a stroke and moved in with us.
The self-identification of the grandmother with Dostoyevsky's wife--and her husband with Dostoyevsky himself--has, in terms of the story's structure, only been a dry run, or a preparation, for the protagonist's own personal identification with Dostoyevsky and elements of his life.
I choked with rage when she described how Dostoyevsky had called her affectionate names, bought her fruit and sweets, and declared his love on his knees (usually after he had gambled away yet another sum of money—but I was too flustered to notice those details at the time).

 parresia: Dostoyevsky and Orthodoxy
Quite unfortunately, the professor described Dostoyevsky, an author I knew nothing about, as “an existentialist.” Hence, my untrained Christian mind was tainted—the well had been poisoned—and I proceeded to read Dostoyevsky as though I were reading an existentialist.
In Dostoyevsky I read hints of the rich Orthodox faith, the reverence for everything holy, the remembrance of those who had come before, the wisdom of the monk, the humility in prayer, and the mystery of salvation.
I was comforted somewhat to read somewhere that Dostoyevsky himself wrote in a letter to a friend that The Idiot was too quickly written, and it was written during a time of great financial burden (something that D seemed to struggle with throughout his life).
