A writer's diary
Go out and purchase volumes 1 (see the December 1993 R&R Book News) and 2 immediately. Dostoevsky's Diary--an amalgam of fiction, anecdotes, reminiscences, portraits of famous people, autobiography, polemic, sketches, reports on sensational crimes, historical predictions, and plans for stories--is a fascinating experiment in literary form and absolutely compelling reading, when presented in a translation as clear as that of Kenneth Lantz, who also provides the annotations. Volume 2 includes a comprehensive index to the Diary. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
