He was meant to be this amazing short story writer, but was he? I've read maybe 10 Russian books, some of which are really major works, and I think they were generally good, but overrated. How is Anton Chekov? What is he like?
I really like This is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz, The Complete Stories of Flannery o'Connor, and For Esme, With Love and Squalor by JD Salinger. I think Wilderness Tips by Margaret Atwood is quite good.
What do you think of Tolstoy, Pushkin and Dostroevsky?
