In these stories, Dostoevsky explores both the figure of the dreamer divorced from reality, and also his own ambiguous attitude toward utopianism, themes central to his great novels. In White Nights, the apparent idyll of the dreamer’s romantic fantasies disguises profound loneliness and estrangement from "living life."

Renown for creating the award winning video game, toy line, and TV show `Earthworm Jim,` Doug has, this time around, produced an outrageously adventurous graphic novel that subtly examines the interplay between science, religion and family.
