by Anton Chekhov from Selected Stories of Chekhov
First, I love 19th century Russian writers. I think The Brother's Karamazov is the greatest novel ever written. I love Tolstoy and Gogol as well. But for some reason I had never had the chance to read Chekhov till now.
This was almost like a satire of a 19th century Russian story. Government clerk. Check. Internal existential crisis. Check. Death. Check.
All the pieces are there but present in a way that to me feels satiric.
Rating: 6/10
