Mahoney, New Criterion "Wonder Confronts Certainty is Gary Saul Morson's magnum opus." --Joseph Epstein, Washington Free Beacon Since the age of Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Chekhov, Russian literature has posed questions about good and evil, moral responsibility, and human freedom with a clarity and intensity found nowhere else.
