In Reading Chekhov Janet Malcolm takes on three roles: literary
critic, biographer and journalist. Her close readings of Chekhov's
stories and plays are interwoven with episodes from his life and
framed by an account of a recent journey she made to St Petersburg.
Malcolm demonstrates how the shadow of death that hovered over most
of Chekhov's literary career - he became consumptive in his
twenties and died in his forties - is almost everywhere reflected
in the work. She writes of his childhood, his relationship with his
family, his marriage, his travels, his early success, his exile to
Yalta - always with an eye to connecting them to his themes and
characters.
