Today’s story for analysis was “The Singers” by Ivan Turgenev. What would have felt like a mediocre story became much more illuminating with the author’s analysis.

Not only a collection of Russian short stories, but detailed analysis as to why they’re good? Sign me up! First was “In the Cart” by Anton Chekhov which perfectly captures that bitter feeling of loneliness.
