[APOLOGIA]"Except for same later revisions in the dialogue, Chekhov's, seven one-act farces which immediately precede the 'major phase' when the famous full-length plays were written. Like the funny stories which he signed 'Chekhonte' because he was a little self-conscious about them, these little plays are admittedly 'minor Chekhov,' though one makes the admission with a sinking heart in an age which makes a cult of the 'major'— the notion of the major, anyway-in order to excuse its lazy reluctance to read any man's collected works. One would not deny that 'The Best Plays of Chekhov' contains just what it says it does, but one might assert that a reader should no more be content to sit down with that book than a parent should be content to sit down to dinner with only his best children." #CoverArt #Bookstagram #AntonChekhov #Theatre #instaread #SamuelFrench #Vintage #Bookworm #OneActPlays #EricBentley #Scarce #booksforsale #bookcollecting #Comedy #booksale #Drama #Books #Play #readersofinstagram #collectiblebooks #TheodoreHoffman #CuttleboneBooks #bibliophile #BooksBooksBooks #Farce #Antiquarian #instabooks
