I actually agree with Collison - although I have to admit I never thought about Brothers K so deeply. It never engendered that response from me.
The Idiot is my favorite Dostoyevsky novel. The Prince's good nature were also his flaws. This leads to so many profound scenes and scenarios. And it gives greater texture to Christian philosophy and the image of Christ than any other analysis I have ever read.
"The House of the Dead" changed the way I looked at prisons, "Crime and Punishment" about ego and justice, "Notes From Underground" about the lone genius - I can't say that Brothers K. gave me any of this.
