In this deep dive, AI breaks down the "Physics of Opposites" that drives the narrative of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Idiot. At its heart, the novel is a collision between the Christ-like innocence of Prince Myshkin and the destructive, earthly passions of Rogozhin and Nastasya Filippovna.

The Idiot: Full of sound and fury, signifying…something

Serial/NYT’s recent season from M. Gessen on unforgivable family is solidly constructed and reported. Is that enough?

"China Girl" is a song written by #IggyPop and #DavidBowie in 1976, and first released by Pop on his debut solo album, #TheIdiot (1977). Inspired by an affair Pop had with a Vietnamese woman, the lyrics tell a story of unrequited love for the protagonist's Asian girlfriend, realizing by the end that his Western influences are corrupting her. Like the rest of The Idiot, Bowie wrote the music and Pop improvised the lyrics while standing at the microphone.

#Trump's tirade against the #Pope is the more baffling when you think that #theidiot is on track to #pardon more #pedophiles than the entire #Catholic #church.

finished #TheIdiot whilst doing my Saturday morning chores

*sigh*

beyond my mournful feelings about Myshkin’s febrile end, I am so struck by the fact that Natasha Filipovna SAID that Rogozhin would kill her in the very first scene in which she appeared and yet, Myshkin was really the only one who truly believed her — is that the part that makes it a classic?
