Check out this great UBC Faculty of Arts Spotlight on Prof. Katherine Bowers and her Crime and Punishment 150 conference. In the Spotlight, Dr. Bowers describes why she thinks Dostoevsky’s novel resonates today, as well as the challenges and joys of tweeting the book from Raskolnikov’s point of view.
Along with the profile, there is also a great video interview in which Dr. Bowers talks about her students’ experiences with Dostoevsky, and how his writing creeps into their psyches and their dreams.
