The Beauties: Essential Stories by Anton Chekhov

4.0

The Kiss is so succinctly perfect, it's so evident in that piece why Chekhov is considered one of the greats. Crazy to think he predicted incels 130 years ago (or maybe dudes have always idolised women in a way that denies them a humanity which leaves the dude bitterly disappointed and sulky???)
