The Schoolboy's Diary
also: Дневник гимназиста
A piece by Alexander Chekhov that Anton praises here, while cautioning him to avoid giving a character the surname of a real acquaintance (Nikolenko).
Reading notes
- To Al. P. Chekhov, 3–4 February 1887. Moscow. §11 "The Schoolboy's
Diary" I liked very much.
A piece Alexander Chekhov had apparently sent or shown Anton, praised here with the caveat that its use of a real acquaintance's surname (Nikolenko) for a character risked giving offense -- a recurring editorial concern of Anton's in his letters to his less disciplined elder brother.
