A fantastically interesting and provocative book. Dostoevsky's Provocateurs constitutes a particularly timely and rich contribution to Dostoevsky scholarship, work on Russian thought, media and cultural studies, and the field of sociological approaches to literature. --Kate Holland, author of The Novel in the Age of Disintegration: Dostoevsky and the Problem of Genre in the 1870s (Northwestern University Press, 2013)

A tour de force--Patyk's conception of provocation as the driving dynamics of Dostoevsky's poetics and their implication of the reader rings true on every page. Brimming with brilliant, revealing interpretations that integrate A Writer's Diary convincingly with the author's novels, Dostoevsky's Provocateurs is set to become a vital touchstone for generations of scholars and students to come. --Sarah Young, author of Dostoevsky's The Idiot and the Ethical Foundations of Narrative: Reading, Narrating, Scripting A fantastically interesting and provocative book. Dostoevsky's Provocateurs constitutes a particularly timely and rich contribution to Dostoevsky scholarship, work on Russian thought, media and cultural studies, and the field of sociological approaches to literature. --Kate Holland, author of The Novel in the Age of Disintegration: Dostoevsky and the Problem of Genre in the 1870s (Northwestern University Press, 2013)
