Anton Chekhov
Literature
James Mustich
Jul 31, 2018
Chekhov’s tales—in their focus on seemingly inconsequential and often pointedly unresolved incidents rather than dramatic episodes that leave a tidy lesson in their wake—instigated a quiet but enduring revolution in the history of fiction. Even though his efforts never exceeded novella length, Chekhov was a prolific producer of prose fiction. The gallery of characters he created in his tales includes a wide range of Russian society—peasants and bureaucrats, students and soldiers, lovers and prisoners—and his exploration of stream-of-consciousness brought their inner lives to the page with a revelatory intimacy.
