Hah, don't worry! I live for negative opinions about the books I like.

That thing you're talking about is real and I don't blame you at all for hating it. imo Tolstoi is really good at creating believable characters and really bad about trying to cram his believable, complex characters into dumbass sermons about Real True Pure and Good Womanhood and The True Purpose of the Family or whatever.

So I often feel the illusion that he's just wrong about his characters, that they have lives of their own that he's failed to fully understand. For me, the douchey misogyo-narration adds to the illusion of depth and reality, because it gives the characters, who already seem like real people, the additional realistic quality of being misunderstood. So eyerolling the narrator is like a secondary pleasure for me that enhances the first.

Which I realize is a pretty convoluted way of liking a thing with problems, but it's just what happened in my head. Getting annoyed is probably the more rational response.

(and I think there may be actually three categories: people, women, and peasants, but that's a tale for another day)

This is an unusual way to experiense a book.) Agh, agreed on peasants.
