The Strength of the Strong is a short story allegory meant to complement London's upcoming 1912 book "The Scarlet Plague", in which a plague in 2012 depopulates the planet and a survivor of that plague tries to impart wisdom to his grandsons in order that they can survive in the years following the plague. We are considering this now for 1001 Stories for the Road. Its a fascinating tale and one which draws many similarities to our current NIH-Wuhan plague. Todays short story "The Strength of the Strong" uses a grandfather in a primitive tribe trying to describe to his grandsons how the only way they can survive in the future is to band together and not have an 'every man for himself' attitude.

Chekhov's 1898 story "The Man In A Case", like many of his stories, was a comment on the social and political atmosphere prevalent in Russia at the time, and for that he was criticized often. This story was the first part of what has become known as "The Little Trilogy", along with "Gooseberries" (coming next week) and "About Love" (now in our archives ). Interestingly enough, a statue of the main character, Belikov, clad in galoshes and carrying an umbrella, stands next to the Chekhov gymnasium in Taganrog, Russia, in Chekhov's honor. Belikov was based upon a real character A.F. Dyakanov, who was the inspector for that city's gymnasium during the years Chekov wrote. He wrote the story while he lived in Paris.

Damon Runyan, a New York city sports writer and author, rose to fame in the prohibition era for his colorful stories which involved characters typical of the shady side of Brooklyn. Runyan's stories were always narrated by one of these nameless mobsters, and always spoken in the present tense. This style became very popular in movies in the thirties and forties. The Three Stooges popularized Runyan;s famous quote from this story "Wise Guy, eh?", and was one of the many expressions that were popularized during that era.
