The Eternal Husband: Dostoevsky.

Feb 19, 2009 19:12

The Eternal Husband is one of those little-known!books by Dostoevsky, and I don't know how easy it is to get hold of. It's definitely worth it, though. It's short, for one thing, and Dostoevsky often lacks that quality. And also so supremely slashy that I'd think he did intend it to be canon were it not for the fact that I can't see Dostoevsky ( Read more... )

I can't believe this is serious literature! This is absolutely cannon! I absolutely must read this book as soon as possible!

Do! Oh, _do_! It's so good!

This seems canon, definitely.

Have you read Crime and Punishment? I always thought the slashy overtones between Raskolnikov and Razumikhin were accidental, but now I'm not so sure...

No, I haven't! Raskolnikov has always rather irritated me, actually. But I'll give it another go sometime!
