3.0
This is an interesting supplement to those who are interested in Solzhenitsyn. Not a book to read before you read AS, but one to read after a heavy dose of Solzhenitsyn. The biography covers up to the last 10 years of his life, which appear to be relatively quiet (from what wikipedia suggests anyway).
It is interesting how this author evaluates Solzhenitsyn's later work-The Red Wheel, which only has two of four knots published in English I found outstanding and fascinating. I literally thirst for the publication of the final two knots in english. Yet based on Thomas they do not appear to be well received-However I get the impression Thomas has not read them.
I will not give any spoilers, but so find this work a healthy addition to those, like myself who still think highly of this great Russian writer.
