What do you get when a bunch of depressed failures spend a lot of time disappointing each other in a rural Russian estate? It turns out, one of the enduring classics of western literature.
Anton Chekov is not messing around. This was easily the most emotionally challenging read so far for us on Pleasant Evenings Book Club, but we were able to have a nice conversation regardless.
We touch on the pain of finding your life is behind you, how misplaced hopes can either carry you through the unbearable or bury you slowly, and the destruction of our ecosystems. (like I said, it was a nice conversation! )
Join us next time for a change of pace as we read the works of Junji Ito. If you'd like to read ahead the stories in question are: The Human Chair, Long Dream, and Fashion Model.
We will be changing to a bi-weekly schedule (once every two weeks), so you won't see too much of us next week. Keep a look out for updates on our social media and feel free reach out!
