Talk:An Honest Thief

Intro
Here's the info from the intro that I culled because it was unverified. If anyone wants to confirm it, feel free to add it back into the article:

Dostoyevsky's fondness of the works of Charles Dickens is shown in An Honest Thief. As an already acclaimed author, Dostoyevsky, admitting his debt as a writer to Gogol, wrote a short story involving one of his most tragic characters. Yemelyan, an abject drunkard, cannot maintain sobriety despite realizing the evil of alcohol. Yemelyan's inability to save himself makes for an astounding and tragic short story.

Beyond this, the obvious paradox contained within the title is clarified in a dying abjuration.
