A more critical version of Pevear and Volokhonsky's work appears here: https://www.commentary.org/articles/gary-morson/the-pevearsi...

Personally I'd highly recommend reading Michael R. Katz's translation of The Brothers Karamazov instead.

Have been a long time fan of Pevear & Volokhonsky but I've recently purchased the Katz's translation of TBK and like what I see!

Cool! I've got both and consider Katz a better writer of English. His prose is just more enjoyable to read and flows much better than P&V's rather too literal translations

I read his translation of Crime and Punishment and I liked it a lot, I saw he had a new-ish translation of The Brothers Karamazov but I haven't read that yet.

If you like C over Python, you'll like P&V.

I've heard good things about that one but apparently it's only available in a 1000-page 6x8" paperback, which seems a shame.
