Title: An indescribable joy...
Review: Nietzsche called NFU an "indescribable joy", saying Dostoevsky is "the only pyschologist whom he ever learned anything from." It may seem paradoxical that you can derive joy out of such an unremittingly tragic book, but any astute reader interested in the human heart would have to agree with Nietzsche. Certainly one of the most profound and revolutionary works in literature, the keynote to existentialism, and modernity. There was simply nothing like this book in literature before it came along( of course there were works similiar to it afterwards, since it was so influential, e.g., Ellison's homage to NFU "Invisible Man").Dostoevsky's prescience blooms in this work, as this work foreshadows the fractured nature of the modern world. This work is intellectual dynamite in a hundred or so pages.
