Morning everyone and straight on to Monday’s Big Question.
What does Anton Chekhov’s The Sea-Gull tell us about humanity?
I don’t know the answer myself yet, having only just started reading it, following a recommendation from Tebbs. Hopefully I’ll have a considered answer to share with you sometime soon.
That question again, what does Anton Chekhov’s The Sea-Gull tell us about humanity?
Have a great week.

It tells us humanity is shite. There, that’s saved you the dullest read since “Biggles Lights a Rollup.” No thanks necessary, by the way.

Sorry, bit of a faux pas with the comment re Chekhov’s masterpiece. I thought you meant “The Gannet,” by his slightly less celebrated brother, Wayne, who, unlike Anton, had a jaundiced view of his fellow man.
As I’m sure you are aware, Wayne was slung out of the Bloomsbury set by Virginia Woolf for persistently standing in front of the telly when “Deal or No Deal” was on. Some say he never truly got over it.

I am sure you are absolutely correct. What a masterpiece of correspondence sir, thank you.
Wayne Chekhov, eh? Sounds a bit like his stuff should be along side the works of Dikkens.
That’s right, D-i-k-k-e-n-s; the well known Dutch author.
