Notes from Underground (pre-reform Russian: Записки изъ подполья; post-reform Russian: Записки из подполья, tr. Zapíski iz podpólʹya), also translated as Notes from the Underground or Letters from the Underworld, is an 1864 novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Notes is considered by many to be one of the first existentialist novels.

This, like The Double, is rather difficult to read. Listening to someone rant and feeling the color of their mood more than the precision (or lack thereof) is one thing. READING it is another entirely. It's tiring. It's also extremely funny and sad. It's such a singular experience and I'm so exhausted by it I do not know what to say about the text exactly. Plenty of scholars have much better things to say about the text than I do. I can say that I think nearly any intelligent angsty person should read it, so you can see in the mirror and cry/laugh at yourself.
