in comparison with Tolstoy and Dostoevsky

Even Fathers and Sons, Wilson argued, was a failure. It is composed of “a nicely drawn set of scenes . . . the characters are realistic. The furniture, the clothes, and the food are all accurately described. . . . We see freshly picked bunches of lilac arranged near the samovar. . . . You can see it all. But there is a complete emptiness in this Russian Literature-Lite which leaves the reader hungry.”
[From "Ivan Turgenev Was Distrusted by the Left and the Right" by Micah Mattix]
Professor Irwin Weil places Turgenev's literature in the history of Russian serfdom
and his literary contemporaries, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy
