Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love this book. It is an account of experiences in Russian concentration camps told as a series of short stories written like mental journal entries. This first hand account of a historical context rarely-discussed is told in poignant and distilled mini-stories. The style is sparse and the content extraordinary.

Nearly three million people died in the forced-labour camps of Kolyma, the northeastern region of Siberia. Varlam Shalamov, considered by many to be Russia's greatest living writer, spent 17 years there and set down the Kolyma experience in powerful short stories.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
