| Author Notes: | Maria Bloshteyn was born in Saint Petersburg and emigrated to Canada when she was nine years old. She is a Russian-English translator and scholar and the author of The Making of a Counter-Culture Icon: Henry Miller's Dostoevsky . She lives in Toronto. Nikolay Chekhov (1858-1889), older brother of Anton, studied art at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. His drawings frequently accompanied his brother's early published stories. Although considered the most promising of the three Chekhov brothers in his youth, Nikolay's alcoholism and habit of sleeping in the streets precipitated his death from tuberculosis at the age of thirty-one. |
