Why You Should Read "White Nights" by Dostoyevsky

This video would not be possible without referencing the work of ‪@hippiasminor6264‬ , who makes the correlation between Dostoyevsky's style and Gogol's quote on the impossibility of writing how someone thinks clear in his own video on "Poor Folk." They also site Joseph Frank as a scholar and references him multiple times. Joseph Frank's work for the Princeton University Press was also invaluable to me in collecting the information presented here.

Occasionally my voiceover diverges slightly from the text presented on screen. In these cases, the screen text given is always the accurate version.
