Chekhov's "Complaints Book"

[Charles Byrd]

Colleagues,

I have a vague memory of some well-known Russian posing a question along the
following lines: "Is not all of Russian literature a kind of 'Complaints
Book' in the tradition of A.P. Chekhov"?  Could anyone share a more specific
recollection?

Thanks,
