For years this author held an unrequited infatuation for Spanish opera singer Pauline Garcia and explored a motif of non-fulfillment through protagonists such as Nezhdanov, Lavretsky, and Insarov. Distant from other Russian authors, he accused a fellow author of "charlatanism" and was caricatured by another in The Possessed. Perhaps his most enduring contribution to literature was the character Chulkaturin whose titular diary named a Russian archetype. For 10 points-- name this author of A Nest of Gentlefolk, On the Eve, and Virgin Soil.
