there isn't enough context to determine if the usage is appropriate: someone is talking about THE DUEL which is based on someone else's eponymous (same name) novella. THE DUEL is described as "Chekhovian", but not necessarily as being *by* Chekhov. the worst and best that can be said about the fragment is that it's confusing.
