Anton Chekhov is revered as a boldly innovative playwright and short story writer - but he wrote more than just plays and stories. This title introduces readers to some other sides of Chekhov: his pithy, witty observations on the writing process; and, his life as a writer through accounts by his friends, family, and lovers.

Supplements eight folk narratives with discussion of audience participation and response as well as relevant Hindu themes.
