Dostoyevsky's Editor
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
About
Dostoyevsky's editor once asked him to cut Crime and Punishment down to a more manageable length. Dostoyevsky replied, 'I could remove 200 pages of Raskolnikov's guilt and inner torment.' The editor nodded eagerly. 'But then,' Dostoyevsky continued, 'it would just be called Crime. And that's a very different genre.'
