Anton Chekhov, Earliest Stories (w/ editors Rosamund Bartlett and Elena Michajlowska)

Show Notes:

This week, we see that every author starts somewhere in Anton Chekhov, Earliest Stories: Stories, Novellas, Humoresques, 1880-1882. To talk about Chekhov’s earliest published stories, Cameron sits down with Elena Michajlowska and Rosamund Bartlett. The pair not only edited the collection, but also oversaw the unusual editing process that involved 83 other translators across the world.

They’ll talk about where Chekhov was this early in his career, the editing process and what kinds of stories we find among this juvanalia.
