Melissa Frazier, professor of Russian language and Russian and comparative literature, was interviewed about her new book, Signs of the Material World: Dostoevsky, Science, and the Nineteenth-Century Novel, for the Bloggers Karamazov, the official blog of the North American Dostoevsky Society. Frazier spoke about how her 2008 course on “Dostoevsky and the West”, taught at Sarah Lawrence, began her journey with the book. Frazier reflected on her role as a professor, saying, “As scholars of literature, we have something desperately important to teach our students: what and how we read matters.”
