There was growing excitement today in the world of literature after the discovery of a completely unknown Dostoyevsky novel entitled "Crime and Government." "The plot is a bit contrived and unconvincing," Professor Heathcliffe from Oxford University told us, "but it's an exciting find nontheless. Basically it concerns a government that is elected into power by making promises it has no intention of keeping. Then, in plain sight, it plunders the entire economy for its wealthy friends and cooly lies about it. Not very believable, I think you'll agree. I see it as a parable on how revolution might begin or, perhaps, a commentry on how an untutored electorate would vote for an insane monkey if it's pretty enough."
