this is an unfriendly reminder that it's actually NOT difficult to remember and respect someone's boundaries and hard-limits and if you can't do it you're honestly just an asshole that shouldn't be allowed near people <3

Anonymous asked:
Hi Artemis I’m reading Crime & Punishment at the moment. And OH MY GOD!!! Raskolnikov is a MENACE!! He does make me laugh because HE LIES TO HIMSELF SO MUCH!!! I’m like « Raskolnikov my dude what are you doing?! » I know it’s not a comedy but the way Dostoevsky wrote it is so compelling and funny. I’m reading the Pevear & Volokhonsky translation. Have you read another translation of the book and what are your thoughts on the book?
Much love and sunlight to you dear!
I've read the Constance Garnett one but eh...felt kind of flat, didn't flow that well. the Pevear & Volokhonsky one is quite solid imo. and I love the book dearly, anon. It is funny indeed, I mean Fyodor's humour shines through, but it's also deeply psychological and you have no clue how the narrative is going to unfold. it's a damn fine book
