The Night-Blindness
Night-Blindness
also: "Куриную слепоту", the `Night-Blindness'
An invented Moscow newspaper Vasya hopes will invite him to run its chronicle section; the absurd name (literally "chicken blindness," i.e. night blindness) is comic invention typical of Chekhov's fictional mastheads.
Reading notes
- The Steed and the Trembling Doe §11 the `Night-Blindness'
Литературная куриная слепота: Chekhov's invented, comically self-deprecating newspaper name ("chicken/night blindness") satirizes the profusion of short-lived, poorly edited papers of the boulevard press.
