Chekhov, not "Chekov", and it was only with respect to his plays. Tom Send a noteboard - 11/07/2011 06:53:27 PM
I agree with Tolstoy about Chekhov, though not about Shakespeare. I think Chekhov's plays are unremittingly dull, pointless and banal.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
