A Chekhov Circus

A guide to the short stories of Anton Chekhov

About This Site

“A Chekhov Circus” is a companion to the short stories and novellas of Anton Chekhov. The site features a brief essay about each of 201 Chekhov stories, based on the translations by Constance Garnett.

The site was written and built by me, Ezra Palmer, in 2022. I’m a journalist and internet executive (ex-Wall Street Journal, ex-Yahoo, ex-cetera). I also write about modern novels on a separate site, farfrombrooklyn.com.

Any errors on this site are entirely my fault and I will be grateful for corrections. (Well, sullenly grateful.)

Of course I’d like to hear from you, assuming you’re nice.
