It's a pity the Solzhenitsyn of <i>Cancer Ward</i> spends most of the time in the shadow of the author of <i>Warning to the West</i>, though I have to admit the tension between the two impulses is what makes him so fascinating as a writer. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/59777?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
