Shia Labouef? Yes, he's very motivational
An amazing writer of short works. I've read most of his short stories, all of his novellas and his four major plays. He is a favourite of mine. I doubt I will ever tire of rereading his works. He has such a wonderfully deep aesthetic style that at once delights and humbles.
The Steppe and The Duel are GT bro
(GOD TIER)
This man, in my country he is nothing.

This post in my country, it is a meme.
I adore his stuff. He's definitely my favorite short story writer.
I'm not certain which translations are the better of Chekhov, but think the P&V collection of short stories has a good representation and variety -- with my particular favorites there being:
Easter Night, Ward No. 6, The Student, The House With The Mezzanine, and The Bishop.
I've hardly touched his plays or novellas. My fear of running out of new Chekhov to read has been at least part of why.

the guy was a massive troll, no twists? no morals? what kind of short stories are these!?!?
He is trash. He is literally writen his entire life a short stories for magazines for food. No meaning, no value in his works.
>>8121508
Ever fiber of my being hopes that this is a troll.

lady with a dog? puh-leaze, that snorer? fuck sake man.
>>8117958
Ward No 6 is one of my favorite short stories ever
>>8121508
who's to say that short stories need twists or morals?
>>8121855
people who aren't dull as fuck. that's who.
>>8121892
I know right. I need stories to tell me what to do, and if they don't do that I don't know what to do with myself. I also need twists because you can't have cool explosions in books, so I get bored otherwise.
I have this copy of "The Lady with the Dog" in my collection
Should I read it?
>>8124007
Yes. He is one of the best short story writers you can find him.
Easily the greatest short story writer of all time. Try out:
>The House with the Mezzanine
>The Lady with the Little Dog
>The Kiss
