L2L The Lady With the Dog (ft. Carol Andrews)

“The Lady With the Dog”

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Anton Pavlovich Chekhov loved writing, but he also loved women — on paper and off. There is debate about whether he was a womanizer or, worse, a misogynist, but he seems to have had great sympathy for his heroines. This week, Leigh, P. T. and regular-but-still-special-guest Dr. C (Professor Carol Andrews) examine Chekhov’s relationships with women, “The Lady With the Dog,” and how the meanings and messages of this great short story writer might sometimes get lost in translation.
