Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was my favorite author in college in the 70’s. He gave me peace when I was listening to my l biased left wing professors whom didn’t like me to question their opinions ( my grades suffered in some classes because of that). I’ve read all his books and each of them helped me overcome the ‘resistance’ as you stated in a previous essay.
Before the Gulag, start with Vasily Grossman's Everything Flows: https://amzn.to/470dCBA and then move onto his masterpiece Life and Fate: https://amzn.to/49pG6X2. As great as The Gulag is, Life and Fate is arguably the greatest novel of the 20th Century.
I have written many essays on Grossman. I''ll revisit some of them in coming months.
