A Gentle Creature by Fyodor Dostoevsky

A Gentle Creature by Fyodor Dostoevsky

A pawnbroker's young wife has thrown herself from a window holding an icon. He walks around the room where she is laid out and talks — to himself, to the reader, to her — trying to arrive at an account of the marriage that he can live with.

Dostoevsky subtitled it a fantastic story because of that device: a man thinking in real time, contradicting himself, arranging the facts and then having to rearrange them. He married her out of poverty, tested her, punished her with silence, and he almost sees it.

Forty pages, and one of the most concentrated portraits of self-deception ever written.
