Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev
I’ve recently been getting into Russian literature and I’ve read a couple of books by Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Nabakov. So I decided to give Fathers & Sons a try. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy this shorter read, but I couldn’t help but cringe while reading about Bazarov. He felt like an insufferable, emotionally constipated child to me. Does anyone else feel this way about him? I do think it could partly be because we live in times where more people today are emotionally aware and just more generally exposed to different ideologies compared to the people of the time this book was set in.
