Dostoevsky's Incarnational Realism

Arts & Literature

“Paul J. Contino is the Wendell Berry of Dostoevsky criticism. Dostoevsky’s Incarnational Realism dares to ask the old question: ‘Can reading a work of literature make one a better person?’ Going against the grain of recent analyses, Contino emphasizes the cataphatic over the apophatic to offer a penetrating account of Dostoevsky’s Christianity through an original reading of The Brothers Karamazov that will inspire and challenge believers, agnostics, and atheists alike.”
