About this listen
Why is it so hard to say the words that matter before it’s too late? In the final installment of our Chekhov trilogy, host Lev Lesokhin explores "About Love" (1898). This is the story of Alehin and Anna Alexeyevna, two people who spend years in a state of quiet, agonizing mutual attraction, only to confess their love at the moment of permanent separation.
This story puts on full display the "Chekhovian" nature of missed connections and how the social restrictions we build for ourselves, such as morality, obligation, and fear, often prevent us from living authentically. We look at why this 19th-century masterpiece is the ultimate precursor to the modern situationship and the YOLO notion of today.
