The Gambler
Fyodor Dostoevsky was a gambler.
Like most gamblers, he found himself in serious debt.
Hence The Gambler, which he wrote (actually dictated) within twenty-six days in 1866 in order to meet his publisher’s deadline, which failure would have occasioned crippling financial penalties.
Art mirroring life.
