"Finished first part -- regretting going with the P&V translation, which may be too faithful to Fyodor's not-so-steady style. Disorientating and confounded scenes, with many characters on hand, none able to overhear the others, often emerging from the mist to speak or have thoughts revealed. From a modern perspective, shoddy POV and scene setting. Great guillotine passage tho -- rest kinda meh but won't quit." — Oct 15, 2020 04:52AM
