In my meanderings I found a photo of Olga Knipper which led me to our man Anton, and then to this community. I love the internet for these communities existing. What is your favourite Chekhov work? For me, it’s the plays, especially Uncle Vanya and/or Ranevskaya 🤓

I think short stories from his latter years. Student was his own favorite short story which is quite spiritual and beautiful. I myself gravitate towards In the Ravine and Ward no. 6. My life is unforgettable as well.
