Description
After dinner, a green lamp, Sharamykin at the fire telling the Vice-Governor how the town’s culture has thinned — the actors who used to come, the nights that were an event. Chekhov’s A Living Calendar is talk as the whole plot: nostalgia, a provincial drawing-room, memory doing the entertainment. Sovereign ebook. Nothing explodes. The past is the guest of honour. A short story of decline told as reminiscence, Russian comedy at room temperature. The calendar is a man; the dates are performances that will not return.
