Spooktober 26 – The Black Monk (1)

Anton Chekhov (1860–1904) was a Russian physician, short-story writer and playwright, and I’m not particularly fond of him, though he’s widely regarded as one of the greatest masters of modern short fiction and who am I to argue? His work is celebrated for its psychological

    Approfitto del tuo blog per mandarti tanti auguri di buon compleanno. Ti avevo scritto prima di Natale, ma non so se il mio email ti sia mai arrivato! In ogni caso, io non sono sparita del tutto. Un abbraccio, Raffaella.

    @ Raffaella: grazie degli auguri, effettivamente non ho ricevuto nessuna e-mail prima di Natale! Mi fa piacere che tu non sia sparita: se passi dall’Italia (o da Israele, a questo punto), fammi un fischio.

    @ Ragno rosso: certo che gradisco gli auguri! E tuttavia sono ormai giunta a quell’età in cui il conteggio degli anni rimane quello dell’anno precedente.

    @ Pirkaff: io sono combattuta, anche questa versione ha il suo fascino.
