"In Kharkov I have a friend, a man of letters. I'll go up to him and say: 'Come, brother, put aside those abominable subjects you write about, the loves of women and the beauties of nature, and show us the two- legged vermin. There's a theme for you. . . .'"
(the character Pavel Ivanich in Anton Chekhov's, story Gusev)
