Porkchop Express has read all of Dostoevsky in Russian, including novels, diaries, and the archive. She has an X account where she connects his work to current events and daily life.

The conversation is about freedom and what its function is — for an individual and for a society — when it is no longer treated as a value reserved for, and perverted by, leftist politics.

We talk about Dosto, post-liberal art, ennobling portraiture, sickness and health, motherhood, her posts, death, sacrifice, erotic tension, artistic possession, divine madness.
