Chekov seems to me the prime example of the writer who writes without tricks... and his stories always come alive and are most original \u0026 varied, and impossible to imitate... tho he has influenced many. The Black Monk presents a problem written about by many... but Chekhov does it without using a single word of the condescending diagnostic vocabulary... so that the character, \u0026 what enlightens \u0026 torments him, transcend the condition from which he can be said to suffer.
