It's fun clicking through the last three images backwards and forwards, sort of like a cartoon flip-book. Did you ever make those? I used to make them all the time, but couldn't draw anything more than stick figures consistently enough to make it work. That was really frustrating.
thanks everyone. i actually already owned all the glasses. they're my favorite model, a walgreens $7.99 steal. unfortunately, they no longer carry them, and most of these pairs are fairly scratched. i don't treat my glasses very well. i thought i had a fifth pair, but cannot locate it, so this may be the end of the series.
jason, i am sure you mistakenly meant Tolstoy, who wrote "The Death of Ivan Ilyich", which i just finished reading last night. no worries though, because i am a Dostoevsky fan as well.
and Scrivner, according to his wife, Ivan Ilyich was to blame. He wasn't of course, and sadly, no one really seemed to care all that much about his troubles.
And isn't her blaming him itself proof that she doesn't get it? At the end, he reaches a transcendental view that allows him to even empathize with his wife and son, but they remain benighted in their artifical existences. It's been way too long since I've read the Russians.
