Footnotes from Underground
Footnotes from Underground is a 145 page novella written by Osonics'
"Unaltered" ego as a senior thesis to graduate from college. It
takes some of it's inspiration from John Gardner's Grendel
which retold the Epic of Boewolf from the monster's point of
view. Here the 'monster' is Apollon, the barely heard from
butler in Dotoevsky's short novel Notes from Underground.
The plight of the fictitious writer trying to tell Apollon's story
is also relayed.
Together these two stories flesh out the counter argument to
Brendan Kenneally's observation If you want to serve the age
betray it . Here the case is made if you want to betray the age
obey it.
A familiarity with the original Notes from the
Underground is helpful but not (quite?) essential for an
appreciation of:
