New notes from undergroundFootnote∗

Like the Underground Notes of my forebear, Dostoevsky, ‘New Notes from Underground’ is written in two parts, of which only the first is published here. The second part, containing philosophic reflections, as well as a veridical account of the author's state of mind and life circumstances while dwelling underground in America, further establishes the fact that ‘New Notes’ departs significantly from Dostoevsky's subterranean memoir, the original published version of which carried a lengthy footnote informing readers that both the author of the Notes and the Notes themselves were fictitious.
