”Even Chekhov, whom we also tend to think of as a largely apolitical writer frequently established or clarified the nature of his characters by informing the reader about their political sympathies…With Bowles’s sangfroid, his lack of empathy, his chilly skepticism, his refusal to demonstrate an even passing interest in the process of spiritual transformation or individual redemption, he is the anti-Chekhov.” - Literary critic Francine Prose (en) |
