- Abstract
"The Shooting Party" by Anton Chekhov is a short novel written in 1884 that contains elements of orgies, violence, drunkenness, class conflict, revolutionary sentiments, love triangles, and murders. The novel is structured as a story within a story, with Chekhov adopting the persona of a journal editor who receives a manuscript from a retired magistrate named Kamyshev. Chekhov includes footnotes and an afterword, playing with the form of the novel and questioning the reliability of the author and narrator. The book explores themes of deception and the nature of storytelling, anticipating postmodernism.
