Looking for books that are poetic like Dostoevsky yet disturbed like Peter Sotos.
Peter Sotos – Index: “Reporting back candidly at human lives entwined with pornography, prostitution, drug abuse, murder, and anonymous, unprotected sexual encounters, Sotos also exposes the media hypocrisy surrounding these issues with ruthless clarity.”
​
Dostoevsky – White Nights: “The novel is an adventure that lasts four nights. On the first night, the dreamer meets a woman in tears, bravely approaches her as he’s never approached anyone before, and consoles her. Although her heart beats for someone else, she lets him in and the two spend four nights getting to know each other.”
So yeah, disturbing yet poetic.
