( Previously, on Crime and Punishment: )
A Note on the Translation
Previously I blamed Constance Garnett for the clunky translation. I take it back. I have a new copy of the book also based on Garnett's 1915 translation, but it has NOT been heavily revised to make it closer to the Russian original. It is better. (Sorry, Dostoevsky.)
I feel like I've already done part three but I can't find it. Man.
3.2
When he wakes up the next morning, Razumihin is filled with self-loathing. ( Who is he, Raskolnikov? )
I think I like this book a tiny bit better when Raskolnikov isn't in it.

3.1
In muddled half-sentences, Raskolnikov urges his family to leave him alone, but his mother refuses. Razumihin volunteers to look after Raskolnikov on their behalf. He will, you guys. You don't need to worry. Razumihin will give him all the mother's love a boy could want. For some reason. ( The delirium continues... )
