I had bought this before learning my lesson that I can't handle complete collections of work. Extreme highs but slogging through everything leaves you feeling low.

AMAZING. An artist of ink and paper. The absolute blueprint of storytelling. I was just as enthralled reading a 3 page story as I was reading 40 page story. I was waiting for him to use the eponymous Chekhovian gun though. Maybe I missed it. Can’t wait to read him in Russian. Expecting to be overwhelmed.
