quick read, good stuff:

Dostoevski's NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND.


note this is an existential, not political subterraneanity, but not jazzy like Kerouacky.
I don't think 'Therefore, I am.' Therefore, I am.

Dostoievsky "El jugador". I read it two summers ago (it´s russian but it´s more acid than melancolic).
