Bought in 1984 or 85, from a distinctly alternative bookshop on the walk from Sneinton to Trent Polytechnic (Nottingham)

“You're not Dostoevsky,' said the citizeness, who was getting muddled by Koroviev. Well, who knows, who knows,' he replied.
'Dostoevsky's dead,' said the citizeness, but somehow not very confidently.
'I protest!' Behemoth exclaimed hotly. 'Dostoevsky is immortal!”

I applaud your honesty, Ray. But please give it a second viewing; it's an absorbing read!

If I do find time for a re-read The Tin Drum is next
