Yes, the Guardian reviewer and I certainly read the book very differently. <br /><br />For someone like me -- not a specialist in art or history but a reader of Russian fiction, which often refers to the Gulag -- the book is extremely valuable as a concise, bilingual account of what went happened. And what went wrong. It's a difficult book to read because of Baldaev's strong focus on the horrible brutality within the Gulag, but I think it's important for readers to have his perspective.Lisa C.
