Attack on Husbands
"Attack on Husbands"
also: Атака на мужей, Ataka na muzhey
A Chekhov piece banned by the censor, over which Bilibin gloats to Chekhov; Chekhov jokes that he would rather have received a higher fee (65 rubles instead of 55) than the sympathy.
Reading notes
- To V. V. Bilibin, 1 February 1886. Moscow. §11 "Attack on Husbands"
A Chekhov piece the censor refused to pass; Bilibin had apparently needled Chekhov about the ban, prompting this half-annoyed, half-amused reply focused less on the censorship itself than on the lost difference in fee (55 versus 65 rubles).
