I am incredibly grateful to not be Russian, specifically during the Soviet Era. This is a very long amd frustrating novel to read. It is frustrating because of how pointless everything is. This gigantic system operates by churning people through it like meat and spitting out misery.
This is the first uncensored edition, written in Vermont, because the soviets threw him in jail for writing about his experiences.
Length: 738 in paperback
Classic: oof, yes.
