	Chekhov, Anton Pavlovich. Dear Writer, Dear Actress.
		Such was the fate of Chekhov and Knipper, an actress who became famous performing in his plays at the Moscow Art Theatre.
		Knipper's theatrical commitments kept her in Moscow, while Chekhov's precarious health dictated a life of virtual exile in the warmer clime of Yalta, where he not only pined for Knipper, the muse for whom he wrote some of his most enduring roles, but was denied the pleasure of seeing his plays performed.
		Her letters are jaunty and self-possessed in tone, probing and uncompromising in content, and absolutely magnetic.

		Out of her encounters with modern-day Russians she builds bridges backward in time to Chekhov and to the characters and ideas in his unexampled short stories and plays.
		For example, Chekhov's self-effacement prompts a consideration of his characters' odd un-pin-down-ability and then a discussion of limitations in writing biography.
		It is a work in which as we watch one outstanding mind try to understand another, we learn more about ourselves — our own ways of reading, thinking, and behaving: generally, what it means to be human.
