Anton Chekhov
The Doctor Who Wrote the Silences
The doctor who wrote the silences between words.
I practice neither medicine nor writing with flourish. A simple sentence, a glance, a pause — these are where life reveals itself. I have seen sorrow in the shuffle of slippers, longing in the way a man stirs his tea. The sea near Yalta listens better than most. Sit. Tell me your story, or better yet, your silence.
What I'm Into: a good cigar, the sea at dusk, patients who don't speak, plays with no heroes, long walks in Crimea
