A Nervous Breakdown by Anton Chekhov
3.0
I tried, I really did. I read a bit of [b:Selected Stories of Anton Chekhov|5693|Selected Stories of Anton Chekhov|Anton Chekhov|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1549137674l/5693._SY75_.jpg|84298], most of [b:Chehov Plays|12398630|Chehov Plays|Anton Chekhov|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1339593082l/12398630._SY75_.jpg|234019], and still -- I am failing to get into Chekhov, who is often referred to as the greatest short story writer. It is sad to think that, somehow, I could not appreciate his work.
I do not have much to say about this collection. A Nervous Breakdown was quite a solid depiction of mental disintegration. For its occupation with hysterical obsession, a favourite theme of mine, The Black Monk was not good, and I was desperate for it to end. Anne Round the Neck was too short for me to make a judgement.
