Brad Hodges asked this question about The Idiot:
Does anyone know what the rock on the cover represents? I don't remember a rock in the book, but then again it was so long I forgot some parts of it.
Gabrielle LilliAnn Fool’s gold? What looks so shiny and amazing (Harvard, Ivan, travel) is actually just a rock. Her many experiences of disillusionment in the story.
