Dostoevsky, on the Fall: the story ends; Shestov’s interpretation of it
The point in the text where we left off in the last entry isn’t the end of Dostoevsky’s story. In the morning, the ridiculous man awakes from his “dream” a changed man. The sight of the revolver he had wanted … Continue reading

Joan Osborne and the Funk Brothers perform “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted”
I would like to think that Rozanov would have greatly enjoyed this video clip of Joan Osborne singing “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted” in the 2002 documentary film, Standing in the Shadows of Motown. Osborne is here backed (or is … Continue reading
Vasily Rozanov, from Solitaria and Fallen Leaves
I’ve mentioned Rozanov, in passing, and an aphorism of his is here on the masthead, but I haven’t really written about him yet. I will, but in lieu of that, this post shares some of his wonderful writing. The translations … Continue reading
