Chekhov Becomes Chekhov, by Bob Blaisdell
Available at bookshop.com

For publication in New Times on the eve of Easter, April 13, 1886, Anton Chekhov wrote “Easter Eve."

His brother Mikhail remembered their childhood in Taganrog: “We were not allowed to miss a single Saturday-night vigil or Sunday liturgy, which explains why Anton exhibited such a thorough knowledge of church services in his story ‘Easter Eve’ and others.”
