Book excerpt: Chekhov is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history. His works often asked many more questions than they answered, and he was one of the first writers to use the stream-of-consciousness technique. Considered the greatest short story writer, Anton Chekhov changed the genre itself with his spare, impressionistic depictions of Russian life and the human condition.
