Loehlin The Cambridge Introduction to Chekhov 2010 1139493523 p.92 "In addition to “The Steppe” and “The Duel” (1888 and 1891), his longest works include three stories from the Melikhovo period: “The Story of an Unknown Man” (completed in 1893), “Three Years” (1895), and “My Life” (1896). ...... “My Life” focuses on the dreary provinciality of a southern Russian city very like Chekhov's hometown of Taganrog. In their different milieux, all three stories ask, but don't clearly answer, questions about how Russians should live their lives."
