The works of Fyodor Mikhailovich (of course, Dostoevsky!).

Slonysh, the issue here isn't specifically about the profession, but rather the perspective from which you look at it. What does it mean to have a certain kind of psychology? Isn't it inherent in everyone? But nevertheless, not everyone is captivated by Dostoevsky. I am more interested in the form than the content (this, of course, doesn't mean that content can be absent). So, Dostoevsky brings the content to the forefront. And writers like Dovlatov or Chekhov focus on the form. In reality, this approach, in my opinion, is closer to journalism (and to me). Dostoevsky's approach is purely literary. Fyodor Mikhailovich is undoubtedly a genius, but it's not my cup of tea. By the way, my beloved Dovlatov perceived Dostoevsky as a shock, but not as a model to emulate. I agree with every word.
