From the Vault: Dostoevsky: Notes From Underground Part 2

This week on From the Vault we continue our Summer Arts and Literature Series with Part 2 of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s classic novel, Notes From Underground read by Stacey Keach.

First published in 1864, Notes from Underground is considered by many scholars to be Dostoevsky�s most philosophical effort, introducing to Underground Man, who is filled with self-contempt and self-betrayal without being aware of it. Ultimately, his writing would have a profound influence on writers such as Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf.

In 1972, Kathy Dobkin produced the 3rd annual WBAI reading of a classic novel, this time choosing Notes From Underground. This the second of four parts and is read by stage and film actor Stacey Keach
