Anton Chekhov invented the modern short story. With writing that is concise, realistic, and evocative, he became a sort of photographer in words, less interested in plot than in the subtleties of mood and atmosphere, and the telling detail. His characters, always vividly drawn, come from all walks of life and often seem to be caught up in a world they don't quite understand.
This new selection of twenty-three stories explores the entire range of Chekhov's short fiction, from early sketches, such as "The Cook's Wedding" (1885), to late works, such as "The Bishop" (1902).
David Plante is Professor of Writing at Columbia University. He is the author of many novels, including "The Ghost of Henry James, "The Family (nominated for the National Book Award), and "The Woods. He has been a contributor to The New Yorker, Esquire, and Vogue, and a reviewer and features writer for The New York Times Book Review.
