fydor dostoevsky, the adolescent

[text ID: never mind a little dirt, if the goal is splendid! afterwards it will all be washed away, smoothed over. and now it’s only―breadth, it’s only―life, it’s only―life’s truth―that’s what they call it now!]

“So tell us a bit about yourself”

Me: I am a sick man, I am a spiteful man, I am an unattractive man.

"it is because i am very ill, I have been worrying and fretting myself and I don't know what I am doing. yesterday and day before yesterday and all this time I have been worrying myself... i shall get well and I shall not worry... but what if I don't get well at all? Good god, how tired I am of it all! "

there was a scream resting in my chest that i forced down because love was meant to be unconditional.

Dostayevskinin dediyi kimi:

Artıq insanlar maraqlı gəlmir. Onlarla söhbət etmək, nəyisə bölüşmək istəmirəm. Çünki söhbətlərin hamısı,

- "Necəsən?"..

+ "Yaxşıyam sən necəsən?"..

- "Məndə yaxşıyam" deyə başlayıb bitir. Bu artıq heç də cəzb edici gəlmir. Yəni insanları da tanımaq istəmirəm. Çünki hamısının sonu eyni cür bitir. Sonuna qədər sevgilər, dostluqlar davam etmir. İndi həyatım da olanların çoxunu 5-10 il sonra görə bilmərəm. Və bunada üzülürəm desəm yalan olar. Gedənləri saxlamaq kimi fikrim yoxdu. Hətta çoxlarına qapını özüm açaram.

1. Dostoyevsky’s The Idiot—the line “A blindness that touches perfection/But hurts just like anything else” makes me think of the first split second of an epileptic attack. After all, Ian Curtis had epilepsy. Dostoyevsky referred to that split second as a kind of “complete enlightenment.”

2. The same line, “blindness that touches perfection” correlates with “others who care for themselves.” I’ve always felt like the black sheep in my family of origin and even when I stepped out into the world, it seems I just didn’t quite fit in anywhere, and these encounters caused me to surrender to self-preservation. This perfect blindness, or me feeling unseen, “hurts like anything else.” Basically, isolation is both torture and pleasure, just as total isolation always is. I feel like Ian wrote this medley out of shame and loneliness, but in a way where it becomes captivating. This masterpiece is his “wonderful prize”, which of course is no prize at all.

I literally spent the whole day trying to think of the American spelling of “Fyodor” and I refused to google it bc in my head I was like THIS SHOULD BE OBVIOUS

But my brain kept auto suggesting “f” = “ph” so I was stuck on pheodore for HOURS before I realized I could have just been like “oh, THEODORE Rosevelt” 😫

Anyway what’s y’all’s favourite Dostoyevsky novel and why is it the Idiot
