Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago, Part 2
Reading and Writing - A podcast by Michael Lavers
Emily, Allie, and I talk about more sections of Solzhenitsyn's The Gulag Archipelago. We discuss the value of literature as a witness to human pain, the dangers of ideology, what it means to take responsibility for our suffering, how Solzhenitsyn could end up saying "bless you, prison," the power of small individual actions, how one book can change the world, and much more.
