The most recent issue of _The New Yorker_ (Feb. 24 and Mar. 3,
1997) contains an article by Cynthia Ozick entitled, "Dostoyevsky's
Unabomber," with the subtitle "Raskolnikov lives on." Though Ozick
attempts to compare the Unabomber with Raskolnikov, the real gist of her
article is an outline of Dostoevsky's early infatuation with and subsequent
contempt for political radicalism in Russia. While discussing _Crime and
Punishment_ Ozick quotes several of Nabokov's critical comments about
Dostoevsky's art and religious convictions. The article runs from page 114
to 121; the Nabokov quotes are on pages 120 and 121.
