Thought for the Day I may not have amazing....

[Paul Whybrow]

I may not have amazing victories, but I can amaze you with the defeats that I came out of alive.

Chekhov, I hear you, brother. I saw a brilliant production of ' Seagull' in London a few decades ago. The director took Chekhovs word that he was writing comedy and it was HILARIOUS. I can't watch another portentous, turgid production of anything Chekhov now. the Russian sense of humour is quite a bit like the Irish. What in Hamlet is referred to as "Tragic-comedy."

And that, my friends, is the conflict every novel needs, imo.
