I always find Dostoyevsky pretty hard going. I recognise his talent, but it's not something you can relax into. It took me ages to read Notes From Underground, which was a really interesting concept, but frustrating to read.
Talking of The Idiot, did you see last week's Culture Show? Mark Kermode interviewed the controversial theatre director Katie Mitchell, whose new play 'Some Trace of Her' is based around the Dostoyevsky tale. The production is a combination of filmed footage and live action on the stage. A really interesting idea and something I'd actually like to see.
