    I was drawn to watch this video clip because I am currently reading Demons (a.k.a. "The Possesed"). While reading it, I have been struck by how much some parts remind me of Radical Chic by Tom Wolfe. Dostoevsky's ideas about modernity, liberalism and radicalism in the novel still speak to current issues in politics and society today. His writing is provocative, stimulating and fun to read as well. Congratulations to Pevear and Volokhonsky on their translation.
