What does /lit/ think of Chekhov?
>grew up in poor home with abusive father
>put himself through medical school by writing
>full-time doctor, who treated poor patients for free, while still writing god-tier work

he's extremely underrated

he's almost never talked about on here. the few people who talk about him speak extremely highly of him though, so i guess "underrated" is not the right word. but he should be discussed here more
