Was Dostoevsky a tortured genius, or a goofy bungler?

Few episodes in fiction can be as hauntingly terrifying as Dostoevsky’s account in The Idiot of what it feels like to face a firing squad, only to have the sentence commuted just as the guns are cocked. Based on the author’s own experience after he was convicted of revolutionary subversion in 1849, it’s a moment that Alex Christofi selects as the opening of his “intimate” biography of the novelist, and it should set the temperature for what ensues. 
In contrast to his contemporary Tolstoy, the great analyst of ordinary family life, Dostoevsky mines our psychic extremes: murder, obsession, isolation, dark nights of the soul, all explored in prose that can sometimes become dauntingly awkward and overheated (qualities that have defeated my attempts to finish both The Idiot and The Brothers Karamazov). ....

In a disastrous year for the arts which saw venues close and many lose their livelihoods overnight, some individuals and organisations showed bravery, initiative and good old blitz spirit to try to keep the party going. Here are seven who brightened up 2020.
Pop: Sophie Ellis-Bextor
By hanging a glitterball and tinsel curtain in the open plan kitchen of her home in west London, underemployed pop star Sophie Ellis-Bextor became a beacon of national joy. Every Friday through the darkest hours of the pandemic, the 41-year-old mother-of-five staged an ebullient, cheerfully chaotic Kitchen Disco, filmed on an iPhone and streamed live on Instagram. ....

Letters: It is right to trust people to make their own decisions about Christmas


SIR – Your Leading Article (December 16) is absolutely right.
Trust in people’s common sense. The vast majority will do what is right. The usual suspects will be irresponsible regardless.

Purley, Surrey
SIR – They break the rules; you bend the rules; I have a very good reason for what I am doing.
Kate Wylie Carrick
 
SIR – You report that two leading medical journals have criticised the Government’s stance on Christmas.
Readers should understand that the Health Service Journal is actually a magazine for NHS managers. The British Medical Journal, meanwhile, is partly a peer-reviewed publication, but in recent years has also published political comment. Most of this has been critical of government policy (no matter which party is in power), and both journals could be said to share the view that the NHS runs the country. ....

On June 4 Sitanan Satsaksit called her brother, Wanchalearm, as he bought meatballs from a food stall in the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh. Then she heard a loud bang, screams, and her brother shouting, I can t breathe . Onlookers say armed men bundled Wanchalearm into a black SUV, which sped away.
Wanchalearm was a human-rights activist who had fled Thailand after a military coup there in 2014. Aged 37, he was the ninth exiled Thai dissident to disappear in recent years. The bodies of two were found in the Mekong River on Thailand s border with Laos - disembowelled, bodies stuffed with concrete, their legs broken and hands shackled. Nobody expe ....
