Thank you for reading! I have a bunch of other translations on my main website, and currently am translating one of the Chekhov's early story collections if you're curious — https://www.nova-nevedoma.com/tag/translations/

"Yet becoming a writer who is published and read is very difficult. To do so: be perfectly literate and have a talent at least the size of a lentil seed. The absence of big talents means the absence of long journeys."

Perfect, I'm bad enough I'm essentially halfway there.
