I am very interested in the works of Leo Tolstoy and how his life affected his fiction writings. I have searched for documents or other such things, but am having trouble finding any. Do any of you have anything that might be of use? Also, I would prefer scholarly texts. Thank you.
Oh, and Russian literature thread.

What exactly do you want? Biographies? Literary criticism?

Read his confession and pretend he's talking about robots. It's way too funny for me to keep picturing on a daily basis. But so isn't the scene of the sun rise tomorrow. So, basically, what i'd like to be saying is, just take some time and enjoy reading Goethe.

If you like his non fiction (few do) chances are good you'll like everything else. There's really nothing to avoid, it's all good.

Also, Nabokov's lectures on Russian Literature has a great section on Tolstoy, among other masters.
