Arvin Yamauchi asked Michael Finocchiaro:

What do you think of Dostoyevsky? And how did he influenced you as a writer as the person you are today?

Michael Finocchiaro Dosto is one of my favorite authors ever! I'd say that the Big 6: The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, The Possessed, The Adolescent, The Gambler and The Brothers Karamazov were all incredibly influential on my sensibilities and how I look at psychological development of my characters. I was also blown away by Joseph Frank's excellent biography of Dosto. Check here on GR as I have reviewed everything I have read by or about Dosto!
