Untitled[edit]

ISasha: good rewrite, but I think the article now needs more structure and sectioning. Also, why did you remove the mention of Zolotaya Roza? It's a major work.

Zolotaya Roza[edit]

I don't mind at all if Zolotaya Roza is mentioned.

Communist?[edit]

Inherent in his later writings is the tension and controlled expression that is so sorrowful and indicative of his antipathy to Communism. I think the article should discuss this in a fuller way, including his defense of authors antagonistic to the officially accepted literature. Perhaps I will work on a section and post it here for comment before editing it into the article. Shykee 02:29, 21 June 2006 (UTC)shykee[reply]

I'm also interested in his response under Stalin, both as a writer and personally.

And since he was a major Russian writer, aren't there any international reviews/criticisms to include that would convey a broader sense of him and his work ? As of now, it can sound as if he's a purely Soviet creation without peer recognition outside the system. I'd like to know more about what justifies his literary stature.

Quote[edit]

Although it seems that this page is not on many people's watch list, I thought I would present ideas here first just in case. Perhaps the article would be improved by a direct quotation of a paragraph or two from "Story of a Life". I will quote the chosen paragraphs here before adding them to the article when I find the time. Shykee 01:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)shykee[reply]
