Chekhbul14 XVII
The Bulletin of the North American Chekhov Society Vol. XVII, No. 2 FALL, 2010 Editor's Note This issue marking the sesquicentennial of Chekhov's birth opens appropriately with an essay by Anna Muza on Cekhov's attitudes toward and depictions of jubilee celebrations. Caryl Emerson then introduces an essay by Sigizmund Krzhizhanovskii that illuminates facets of the comic writings with which Chekhov began his literary career and touches on the importance of Chekhonte's work for Chekhov's. Two notes follow: one on the birth and first ten years or so of the NACS by Julie de Sherbinin and the other by Laurence Senelick about Constance Garnett's sister-in-law and her report on the first performance of The Sea Gull. The issue continues with Radislav Lapushin's discussion of two adaptations, cinematic and operatic, of Three Sisters. At the very end you will find a press release about the December conference, Chekhov on Stage and Page, at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.
