The Seagull

The Seagull by Anton Chekhov. What the hell? It was billed as a comedy. What it was was Russians drearily going though life, falling in love with disastrous consequences, and being fucked around by those higher up in the food-chain. There did end up being a higher body count than I was expecting, but only just.

Christ, I need to read something with fluffy bunnies and unicorns and mice in feety pajamas.

I have found that the fluffy content from Russian authors is very low...

Judging by the Russian literature I've read, they probably DO consider that comedic. Chekhov is one of my favorite authors though.
