A Snack before I Die
James Wood
- Anton Chekhov: A Life by Donald Rayfield
HarperCollins, 674 pp, £25.00, June 1997, ISBN 0 00 255503 4
We can get a better understanding of Chekhov and his work from the notebook he kept than from any biography – even an important biography, like this one. It is a ledger of enigmas in which nothing adds up, full of strange squints, comic observations and promptings for new stories.
