Reply to comment by wordyshipmate82 in [No spoilers] The dialogue in The Brothers Karamazov is giving me whiplash by FlyingPasta
This is reassuring to me. OP is experiencing the exact same thing I went through. Every sentence is a long slobbering rambling soliloquy. I thought maybe novels were imitating theatre plays and so this is what people were expecting at the time, but I know other books from the time and much older that still read as more conversationally contemporary than Brothers K.
