By the way - I rated this book 3 stars which means I liked it. However, I still felt disconnected in sections due to the absurd nature of the plot itself. Perhaps I've found a storytelling method that doesn't work as well for me. Looking back I'm not sure how many stories like this I've read, so it could be that I'm just not accustomed to it.
I don't think this experience has turned me off Russian literature though. I'm still determined at some stage to complete all the major Dostoyevski and Tolstoy works.
