Lanham : Scarecrow Press, 2004. pp. 177–187) says, however: "Doris Dörrie may not be a second Anton Chekhov, as her publishers have us believe in an obvious effort to reconcile critics by linking her with a canonized author from the modernist literary tradition. Her well-balanced treatment of love, however, has defined the Zeitgeist of love in the 1990s as no other author has. "
