Reviews
Dostoyevsky scholars will find this worth a look.
Michael Wood:
Dostoevsky, as Kristeva’s reminder about language and the sacred helps us guess, loves religious mischief precisely because he cares so much about religious faith.
Jacqueline Rose, author of On Violence and On Violence Against Women:
Part spiritual autobiography, part free association, Kristeva’s study of Dostoyevsky becomes the occasion for a journey through the life of the mind. In searing harmony with her subject, she once again demonstrates how it is only out of the depths of abjection that human creativity is born. One of her most exuberant and challenging works, Dostoyevsky, or The Flood of Language offers us Dostoyevsky as lascivious, blasphemous, and saint, taking us into the core of Kristeva’s unique vision.
