The Art of Fiction No. 47
Briefly

She did offer me either Jane Austen or Chekhov, and Chekhov I do dare to think is more 'kindred.' I feel closer to him in spirit...
He had...sense of family. He had the sense of fate overtaking a way of life, and his Russian humor seems to me kin to the humor of a Southerner.
