The Enduring Achievement of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. by Ave Maria Law Review Book Summary

In an old joke from the Soviet era, a teacher asks the class, "Who was Leonid Brezhnev?" and a schoolgirl replies, "Wasn't he some politician in the Age of Solzhenitsyn?" It didn't take anywhere near a century for Brezhnev's name to pass into oblivion. Trouble is, Solzhenitsyn's name disappeared too. Here's a conversation I frequently have. Someone asks what I am doing these days, in the leisure of my retirement. I reply, "Writing." Other person: "What on?" I: "Solzhenitsyn." Other person: "what?" Notice: not "who (or Whom)?" but "what?" If the other person regards himself as well-educated, I then say, "The greatest living writer in the world today." The other person changes the subject. The name of Solzhenitsyn, though it has not entirely vanished, has fallen on hard times in the United States today. On a recent questionnaire given in two sections of a college World Literature course, only two of fifty-six students had read a single word by him. Ten more had heard of the gulag. But several confused gulag with goulash. Two gave recipes. One wrote, "If a person wants to eat goulash more than three times a day, he is considered a gulag." I'm sure the poll results would differ at Ave Maria School of Law, which I think is the Lake Wobegon of the State of Michigan--you know, "where the women are strong, the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."
