RUSS 38.19 The Good Doctor: Anton Chekhov and the Healing Arts

The great Russian writer, Anton Chekhov (1860-1904) is not only credited with pioneering the modern short story form and inventing modern theater, but he was also a beloved and practicing doctor. Chekhov’s works can be read as a guide to the non-medical healing arts, including humor, adventure, compassion, and art itself. We will draw on his works, as well as on Chekhov’s own epistolary advice, with the goal of learning “how to write like Chekhov.”
