Professor Yuri Corrigan Publishes Work Exploring Dostoevsky
“Strikingly original and marvelously written, Dostoevsky and the Riddle of the Self not only solves the riddle of Dostoevsky’s conception of the self, but also provides a wealth of new insights into his works. Corrigan’s study is likely to become an event in the field. What is more, it has the potential to be read beyond the circle of Dostoevsky scholars: students and general readers will find the book accessible, provoking, and inspiring. This is a major achievement in Dostoevsky scholarship.” —Irina Paperno, author of Suicide as a Cultural Institution in Dostoevsky’s Russia and “Who, What Am I?”: Tolstoy Struggles to Narrate the Self
