What are the best Dostoevsky translations in English?
And to not selfishly claim a whole thread for this small question, feel free to ask your own translation questions or give advice about other translated books and authors of your interest.

Avsey for Dostoevsky where possible
Marian Schwartz is a good Russian Translator as well.

There's been a lot of these threads lately. Opinion is divided about P&V.
As for me, I enjoyed McDuff's Crime And Punishment. The same translator has done a few of Tolstoy's shorter works for Penguin as well, e.g. The Cossacks, The Forged Coupon.

yes, this. don't get memed by the Pevear translation, Avsey is infinitely better without a doubt

It's a meme to hate on P&V (I bet most people hating on it haven't even compared P&V with other translations, never mind the original), but I recommend P&V.
You'd be wise to do your own research though. See which one you like best.

I have read Anna Karenina twice. P&V was clunky as fuck to read. Schwartz' translation was like reading a whole new book -- far superior.
