I Request Your Input: A good while ago now, I decided to do an update, rewrite, reimaging, whatever you want to call it of “The Bet,” by Anton Chekhov. Long story short, published in 1889, the story is about this rich bank and a lawyer that bet 2 million Rubbles that the lawyer cannot spend 15 years in solitary confinement, with a list of terms and conditions. So here are my two main questions; 1) how much money, in modern American dollars, would you want to spend 10 years in solitary confinement, and 2) speaking as the person who has agreed to spend a decade of their life in solitary confinement, what terms, and conditions would you want?
