The first (translated) story of his I ever read was "Sleepy." How cool of an introduction to an author is that?
Splendid post. Thanks, Jerry Jr.
Wow. Good one.
There are great -- too long since I read any Chekov, so I've bookmarked 'em. Thanks, Jerry.
By coincidence i just finished reading some of his short funny plays: The Brute and some others.
Great post!

nice
Damn first banana's and I messed it up ...
For the love of god, let none of them be Three Sisters...
Three Sisters is a play, Mfpb. Chekhov's short stories are among the best that have ever been written. Finely observed, beautiful economy, transparent sensibility, virtually perfect. I don't feel the plays represent the best of his work. He's a short-form guy, essentially.
But arse_hat: you've finally enlightened me as to what ))) means! I've been too afraid to ask, so thanks two times! :-)
