I think Larissa Volokhonsky might be wrong about something else too:
Dostoyevsky's humor," Larissa added, "is lost in Garnett, and he's
extremely funny." She also said, "Garnett actually influenced a lot of
English-language writing. Hemingway, for instance, thought he was influenced
by Dostoyevsky, but he was influenced by Mrs. Garnett."
Doesn't she mean "Hemingway thought he was influenced by _Turgenev_" etc?
