The Night Ocean by Paul La Farge.
A Christmas present from my wife, this book begins with psychotherapist Marina Willet telling about the alleged suicide of her husband, Charlie, a nerdish but lovable research writer of mixed race, given to dark periods of depression. Charlie, obsessed with H.P. Lovecraft, believes he had found evidence that Lovecraft had left an account of hidden and unknown homosexual relations in a book called the Erotonomicon, but is devastated when his research is called fraudulent. But is Charlie really dead? And if Lovecraft hadn't written the Erotonomicon, then who had, and why? So far, a great read.

Current reading Survival of the Bark Canoe by John McPhee. Anything by McPhee is worth reading.

Personally, I think Alyosha Karamazov was a slightly more convincing and inspiring character, though obviously along the same lines as Prince Myshkin. Still an immensely enjoyable book though - and Dostoyevsky's personal favourite among his works. I never liked Crime and Punishment though: too macabre, though the ending was good.

I haven't read The Idiot in years, but yes it's magnificent.
