This author vituperated against a parent who taught his child to chainsmoke in a criticism of the "casual family" in his newspaper column. One of this man's narrators claims he will "go on living to sixty!...To seventy! To eighty!" before describing his vocation as "the intentional pouring of water through a sieve." A monologue by a Mephistopheles-quoting pawnbroker pacing around the body of his wife, whom he drove to suicide, makes up this author's story (*) "A Gentle Creature." One of this man's narrators sarcastically praises a glutton drinking toasts to "the sublime and the beautiful" and asserts that there is enjoyment even in a toothache. That narrator sobs, "They won't let me - I can't be good!" to the prostitute Liza and begins his recollections, "I am a sick man. I am a spiteful man." For 10 points, name this author of Notes from the Underground.
