Ward No 6 Discussion
Club Chekhov - All Subtext, No Action di Lev Lesokhin
Note sull'episodio
Professor Burry and Lev Lesokhin hold a debrief about Chekhov's famous story, Ward No 6. A far-ranging discussion, commenting on the bleak nature of the landscape offered by Chekhov and the fragility of sanity, especially among thinking people thrown into the vulgar herd of a grey, provincial existence. The commentary weaves through parallels to modern corporate life, the breaking point of Nietzsche, and the philosophical musings of a somewhat-Chekhovian medical practitioner. If this story affected you, either by its dim humor or frightening conclusions, tune in to find some resonance in this discussion.
