No More Days in the Life of Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Russian author and dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn has passed away.



I recall my dad reading The Gulag Archipelago when I was a boy and as soon as One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich appeared on my 8th grade list of books we could read for book reports, I immediately chose it. I still have that copy of the book too.
