This manuscript of Fyodor Dostoevsky's early draft of The Brothers Karamazov has been going around lately, marveling at the wild labyrinth that was the author's brain, committing such madness to one of literature's greatest feats.
I also would like to point out a first draft of Charles Dicken's Great Expectations - much neater, more in order. Makes sense to anyone who's had to write a short high school essay.
"But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “don't you have a piece from a manuscript of your own, one which surely holds its own against such majestic masterpieces?"
Sigh. YES, faithful readers, YES I do. Enjoy:
