Chekhov

"Chekhov" brings the art of poetic biography to its full, booklength expression -- Sanders' practice of investigative poetry unlaying both the life of one of the greatest writers and the turbulent history of pre-Revolutionary Russia, ever on the edge of Europe, the bloody wave of pogroms and anti-Semitic persecutions which marked the times of the great Russian master playwright, story writer and physician Anton Chekhov.
