Note"This article examines the use of ‘apophatic rhetoric’ in Dostoevskii's novel A Raw Youth.The young narrator-hero's classical ‘apophatic’ problem of verbal expression leads him, it is argued, to experiment with various forms of verbal and non-verbal representation and communication. A number of characteristic apophatic devices are shown to play an important role in the novel's narrative strategies and verbal make-up. Furthermore, some less obvious implications of the novel's apophatic rhetoric are discussed: its link to the motif of the setting sun, on the one hand, and to the visual realm of pictures, icons, and photographs, on the other. Dostoevskii's conspicuous display of the ‘language-ness of language’, its flaws and transient character, combined with the emphasis on the very necessity of speech and communication, repeats in a modern fashion the classical aporia underlying the apophatic discourse."
