In 'The Master of Petersburg,' J.M. Coetzee recreates the figure of Fyodor Dostoevsky, the great 19th-century novelist, in a work of fiction that is both a thrilling mystery and a documented psychological portrait. An exiled Russian novelist returns to St. Petersburg to investigate the death of his stepson Pavel, finding himself immersed in the revolutionary violence of 1869. The novel explores themes of memory, obsession, and the impact of political violence on personal life.
