Jorge Luis Borges: Selected
Non-Fiction, edited by Eliot Weinberger, Penguin 1999
page 517, ch "Prologues to a Personal
Library" :Fyodor Dostoevsky -"Demons"
Last paragraph:"In the preface to
an anthology of Russian Literature, Vladimir Nabokov stated that he had not
found one single page of Doestoevsky worthy of inclusion. This ought to mean
that Doestoevsky should not be judged by each page but rather by the total of
all the pages that comprise the book" (1985/EW)
