I'm not a huge fan of short stories but for a Russian author, I'd do anything. "August 1914" is on my TBR pile, "The Archipel Gulag" on my wishlist. I will definitely tackle them.<br /><br />Thanks for the review, great as always.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-76673284008697063262018-10-10T15:24:53.917-07:002018-10-10T15:24:53.917-07:00You are so right!You are so right!Judy Kruegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632346091869688862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124551.post-5439363822061321412018-10-10T15:16:33.357-07:002018-10-10T15:16:33.357-07:00It isn't hard to think that writing about the ...It isn't hard to think that writing about the Soviet political structure in such a way was not going to cause him to become censored.

I remember it as very rough going, but Solzhenitsyn was certainly a passionate writer and a hero of his time.
