Reading notes
- To A. S. Lazarev, 20 October 1888. Moscow. §11 the Nefedovs, and Boborykin
"The Nefedovs" is used generically, in the plural, for the type of untalented writer who overuses scare quotes for effect; the type is named for Filipp Nefedov, the Populist ethnographer-novelist. Boborykin is named alongside him as a lesser example of the same fault.
