A review by ominousspectre
Poor Folk by Fyodor Dostoevsky

2.5

Hm. I was hoping I'd like this one more than I did. It's one of his few departures from "putting a guy who is absolutely deranged into a situation". Which I love, btw, but occasionally he'll do something more personal, like House of the Dead, and I like those little windows.

I'm sure this is drawn upon his time in poverty, but I found that the love story was so meandering that it...distracted from the tragedy of poverty itself? This is an early work of his though I suppose
