A short piece by Ieronim Yasinsky (pen name Maxim Belinsky) that Chekhov singles out as "a superb little piece" even while condemning Yasinsky's move to the conservative "Novoye Vremya" as a literary disgrace.
Reading notes
- To I. L. Leontyev, 4 February 1888. Moscow. §11 "The Fire"
A short piece by Yasinsky that Chekhov singles out as "a superb little piece," in deliberate contrast to his harsh verdict on Yasinsky's choice of publisher in the same sentence.
