Astrachan, Samuel The Game of Dostoevsky
New York, NY, U.S.A. Farrar, Straus and Giroux 1965 First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Good Janet Halverson, Jacket Design
Yellow paper on boards, black cloth on spine. Volume has light wear. Jacket is lightly worn on the edges, soiled from rubbing. Now in clear cover. "This ingenious novel centers around a group of friends who call themselves the Wolgamuts. All of them are associated in one way or another with an unnamed university in New York City. Their strange relationships of love, deceit, and cruelty and their private guilts and aspirations are reflected in a game devised by one member of the group, the Game of Dostoevsky. Derived from a board game similar to Monopoly, this clever invention makes each player 'confess' his sins (lust, greed, hate or whatever, depending on what sin the throw of the dice turns up) in the character of a well-known literary hero or heroine. The Game of Dostoevsky is a deeply ambiguous novel that withholds and obscures its meaning with great skill. Its fascination is its brilliant play of wit and light around that impenetrable mystery, the human personality."
