Review
"Rosamund Bartlett translates with finesse and precision, and she arranges the stories in proper chronological order, with helpful notes" --Times Literary Supplement
"Illuminated by genius, the incommunicable becomes achingly visible" --The Guardian

Product Description
A civil servant stands accused of not understanding the rules of punctuation. He begins to go through the correct use of commas and semicolons before arriving at the exclamation mark, which, he realises, in forty years of writing, he has never used. From here he develops a bizarre and paranoid fantasy in which everyday objects transform into malevolent exclamation marks...Written when Chekhov was on the verge of becoming a literary celebrity, this is an enlightening new selection that reveals the author's often neglected comic talents.
