The Idiot if they are a subNotes From The Underground if they are a domBoth of these come from personal experience so it might be biasedWoman hate each other, rightfully so given the way they treat each other, specially the ones considered low in their hierarchy
>>24852336This but unironically
The lesbian loli romance in Netochka Nezvanova remains the single hottest lesfic ever written. Too bad Dosto was camp'd before he could finish it and never bothered to complete the story.
>>24852438The what?>Netochka is adopted by Prince X., an acquaintance of her stepfather, and chapters 4 and 5 are concerned with the orphaned girl's immersion in this unfamiliar aristocratic world, focusing particularly on her relationship with the Prince's daughter Katya. Netochka immediately falls in love with the beautiful Katya, but Katya is initially repelled by the strange newcomer, and is cruel and dismissive toward her. Over time, however, this apparent dislike transforms into an equally passionate reciprocation of Netochka's feelings. Their young, unashamed love leads to an intimacy that alarms Katya's mother, who eventually takes steps to ensure their separation. Katya's family move to Moscow, and Netochka is placed in the care of Katya's elder half-sister, Alexandra Mikhailovna. According to the narrator, Netochka and Katya will not see each other for another eight years, but as the novel remained unfinished, their reuniting is never described. WTF. How have I not heard of this before?Here's Tolstoy's shota crush from Childhood Boyhood Youth
>>24852453Yeah, imagine my surprise when I got a collection of short stories from a random sale and sat down to feel very smart and cultured in the company of the venerated old Russian master, and then HOLY SHIT page after page of loli snogging in bed. Damn, it was beautiful.
>>24852469That's awesome. Thanks for making me aware of it anon. I'm definitely going to read it soon. You may enjoy Colette's Claudine novellas.
>>24852336I actually know some lesbians and they're extremely bitchy. Must be the lack of hot beef injections making them that way.
>>24851985>that post about getting divorced two weeks after marriage
>>24852262Their being lesbians isn't the issue. You are a part of the same wretched internet denizens.
>>24851866Why do you need Dostoyevsky when Chekhov is subtly too cruel for a women to read. While Dosto rubs the femme face in his gospel rigmarole in a futile attempt to exercise the demons within, the Chekhow just waits silently as they die off from terminal shame.

>>24851866If you are alluding to Dostoevsky’s worst novels, then, indeed, I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigamarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search. Dostoyevsky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity – all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place." Crime and Punishment’s plot did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. Dostoyevsky never really got over the influence which the European mystery novel and the sentimental novel made upon him. The sentimental influence implied that kind of conflict he liked—placing virtuous people in pathetic situations and then extracting from these situations the last ounce of pathos. Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway. Dostoyevsky seems to have been chosen by the destiny of Russian letters to become Russia’s greatest playwright, but he took the wrong turning and wrote novels.
