Listen "Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky | Deeksha Sharma"
Episode Synopsis
“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.” ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground“Notes from Underground” is a powerful and intense social commentary and monologue of a very frustrated former government servant. The book is written in a certain social and political environment where “determinism” was presented as an ideal. In this conversation with Deeksha I explore the nuances of the work and the emotional impact it has on readers. We also discuss the challenges in crossing the chasm between thought and action. During this conversation we also talk about the abrasive impact that insecure people can have over their surroundings. You can also read my post about this book here.
