A Writer's Diary
Дневник писателя
An unprecedented work: a one-man periodical combining court reporting, political polemic, memoirs, literary criticism, replies to readers and stories such as Bobok, A Gentle Creature and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man. It reveals Dostoevsky the moralist and prophet, and also the nationalist and antisemite of the Russo-Turkish war. Its success made him Russia's public conscience.
Authorship note
First published as a column in the weekly Grazhdanin (1873–1874), then as a monthly written and edited by him alone (1876–1877), with one issue in 1880 and another in January 1881, which appeared after his death.
