Viola Davis quotes Anton Chekov at the start of her book. Psychiatrist Dr. Wiplove (Wip) Lamba didn’t realize who he was.

Anton Chekov is a famous Russian writer and playwright whom some argue is only second to Tolstoy in his acclaim. He grew up in poverty in an abusive household. Medicine was his main professions and he described writing as his mistress. He believed it was his role to share reality as it was and not provide answers and solutions, and that was clear in his stories.

Wip went through the audiobook and commentary for the proposal, the girl with the dog and the beggar. And interestingly, the beggar contained the major controversy in addiction treatment. The role of pushing for personal responsibility vs the value of compassion and serving the other.
