A Writer's Diary

This collection of Dostoevsky's writings on the art and craft of writing is full of his innovative ideas about fiction and its uses. Begun as a monthly miscellany, the journal was published in 1876-77, and served as a place where he could try out his ideas for THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV. He also commented on politics, literary events, fiction in general, and other matters. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
